About me

Welcome to my profile!
 
Therapy can be a transformative journey of self-discovery and healing. It provides a safe space to explore your life story, build resilience, heal from trauma, cultivate self-compassion, and set meaningful goals. Whether facing past trauma, life transitions, or mental health concerns, therapy empowers you to navigate challenges and embrace your true self. 

I understand the importance of finding the right therapist, so below is a bit about myself, about my approach, and about my training. If what you read resonates with you, please feel free to contact me to arrange an introductory session. This session would allow us to explore your concerns, understand your needs, and decide if we are a good fit to work together.

A bit about how I work…

My approach is holistic and integrative, which means I draw on techniques and concepts from different therapeutic modalities that suit your individual needs and your unique personal circumstances and goals.

I subscribe to both humanistic and scientific-basis therapeutic approaches, valuing the importance of empathy, compassion, and the therapeutic relationship, while also integrating evidence-based practices grounded in psychological research. Additionally, my approach is flexible but structured, agreeing on clear therapeutic goals.

NCPS
National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS)

The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
