About me
I am a fully qualified and BACP accredited therapist, working empathically and without judgement to create a safe therapeutic environment. I am motivated towards deepening my understanding of my clients experience to work with the ‘unspoken’ to both develop and deepen self-awareness. I help clients find their voice and together, explore ways they can live life more fully. I work in private practice with adults and young people.
In terms of modality, I offer counselling and psychotherapy within the field of trauma and related presenting issues, working within a Humanistic frame and practising a range of modalities that meet the needs of an individual client. These include Person-Centred work but also more embodied practices such as Energy Psychotherapy. Initial training through Metanoia Institute and Accreditation status through the BACP granted in 2016 with an ongoing commitment to training as outlined within their code of ethical practice.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained at the Metanoia Institute, obtaining a Diploma in Humanistic Counselling and BSc in Reflective Practice. I am part of a Learning Circle Rethinking Trauma and am committed to CPD programs (E.g. Polyvagal theory, MBSR, Neuroscience) that are relevant to my work and deepen my experience in post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, anger, self-esteem, self-harm, bereavement, learning disorders and more. Most recently, 2021/22 I have completed a Diploma in Energy Psychotherapy with Confer which has provided 'gentle, yet powerful' ways of working to connect mind and body.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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).
