About me
Hello and welcome,
I am a fully qualified person-centred Therapist and a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, with over three 4 years’ experience. Prior to training as a Therapist, I worked within the Mental Health Sector with Adults, Young Adults, and families. More recently I have been working with both male and female survivors of rape, sexual abuse, sexual violence, and domestic abuse. I have a wide knowledge of how people can feel when experiencing traumatic events in life and together with my experience, I have helped many people with complex needs in different settings from all walks of life.
I understand life can be challenging at times and we may face stressful and difficult experiences in our lives such as illness, bereavement, family problems and relationship issues. When experiencing these difficult times, it can be helpful to talk to an experienced, professional therapist and make a real difference on how we feel.
Reaching out for help can be daunting and difficult and so, it is important to find the right compassionate, knowledgeable, and non-judgemental person for you so you can be listened to and understood. I felt the person-centred approach was the best approach for me, as I believe that it is the relationship between counsellor and client that makes all the difference. I have found it a privilege to be able to accompany a client on their journey to living a happier life.
I am bound by the Ethical Framework for counselling professions and keep up to date with developments in the profession. My therapeutic experiences include working with addiction, bereavement, loss, bereavement through suicide, trauma and dealing with anxiety, relationship’s, depression, gender dysphoria, dementia, suicide, self-harm, dissociation disorder, bipolar and domestic abuse to name but a few.
I will accept you and your values without judgement, and I will remain by your side in a real and genuine way, helping you navigate whatever is going on for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
Dip. Counselling MBACP
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
