About me
I specialize in assisting clients aged 8 years and above, recognizing modern life's increasing demands and complexities, particularly for young people who often require additional support. With the rise in anxiety-based school avoidance, managing friendships, stress and trauma alongside the hustle and bustle of daily life, it is common for young people of all ages to feel overwhelmed, leading to a diminished sense of joy and a struggle to cope effectively. My role is to provide guidance and equip clients with practical tools to navigate challenges, fostering resilience and maintaining mental well-being over time.
Many individuals experience temporary relief through therapy, only to revert to previous struggles post-treatment. As a therapist, my focus lies in tailoring interventions to suit each individual, supporting the young person and engaging with the family to work together, emphasizing sustainable strategies that promote enduring mental health. As a certified CBT psychotherapist, I leverage a blend of integrated therapeutic techniques to empower clients to embrace self-fulfilment, irrespective of their circumstances. By shifting perceptions and enhancing self-awareness, we can redefine our sense of self and our place in the world.
Central to my practice is a collaborative approach to imparting clients the necessary skills to self-manage their mental health and well-being. Through proactive identification of warning signs and reinforcement of coping mechanisms, I strive to prevent setbacks and promote lasting stability. By delving into the root causes of emotions and behaviours, I tailor interventions using an integrative methodology that acknowledges the unique needs of each individual.
Training, qualifications & experience
After obtaining my social work degree, my goal shifted towards providing more holistic and organic support to people. I aimed to assist them in progressing and living the life they desired without waiting for a crisis to arise. This journey began with training in holistic mind-body connections to offer mindfulness and EFT to adults, followed by training to implement the 'youth mindfulness' initiative for young groups. Additionally, I served as a support/project worker for various projects and user groups. Subsequently, I decided to delve into talking therapy. Driven by a growing interest in mental health and equipped with an HNC in counselling, I pursued training to become a CBT psychotherapist. Shortly after becoming certified, I ventured into working with children and young people, discovering that I possessed both the knowledge and skills required for the role. Continuously evolving and expanding in my field, my aim remains consistent: empowering individuals with the confidence and tools to proactively manage their mental well-being.
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.
