About me
Struggling with an aspect of your life can feel isolating. We can all suffer from mood fluctuations, low-self esteem and anxiety at times and feel uncertain where or who to turn to. Life events such as death and birth are inevitable as are transitions like moving house or job. I am here so that you need not feel alone. Revealing your inner most thoughts, fears and feelings can be daunting and that is why I offer a calm, secure and non-judgemental space.
As a Person Centred Therapist, I am led by you; I work at the pace you set, use challenge where appropriate and hold your personal growth and well-being at the heart of my practise. I work on the belief that you have the answers within yourself, I am here to help you uncover them.
I take a very non-directive approach to my work, helping you safely explore the issues that you choose to bring to our sessions together. I will not make your decisions for you but I will help you to see what choices are in front of you. Realising that you do have a choice can be incredibly empowering.
I believe that in a held environment you will be able to explore and move through your current difficulties. I know that this is possible as I have overcome issues that felt insurmountable by exploring them with a counsellor who was 'the right fit' for me. I am what is known in the counselling community as a 'wounded healer.'
You have already shown great courage and a desire to change your current circumstances by reading my profile; if you feel that I could be the 'right fit' for you then please get in touch via the email link above or give me a call on 07443406660.
Training, qualifications & experience
- I am a Registered Member of the BACP working towards Accreditation
- I have a BSc (Hons) in Therapeutic Counselling
- I am currently studying for an MA in Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice
- I hold a Foundation Degree in Science in Counselling Theory and Practise (Level 5)
- I have completed the Foundation for Infant Loss accredited training
- I am an accredited Foundation for Infant Loss Rainbow Baby Specialist
- I have completed integrative sex and couples CPD training with Dr Tammy Nelson
I have experience working with:
- Miscarriage, pregnancy loss and the death of a child
- Grief
- Adverse childhood experiences
- Substance misuse and addiction (having volunteered for a substance misuse charity)
- Anxiety
- Low mood, depression and suicidal ideation
- Life stage challenges (such as caring for parents)
I receive counselling referrals from two charitable organisations. One of these organisations supports the families of those bereaved of children. I am experienced working with complex and disenfranchised grief.
The second organisation supports families from farming communities. I feel passionately about this work as young men continue to have the highest rates in the UK of any group for ending their own life.
I continue to learn and develop as a counsellor through my client work. If a client comes to me with an issue that I have little knowledge of I firstly (and most importantly), learn from them and secondly engage in CPD to find out more.
As a fully qualified counsellor I am a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists and abide by their code of ethics.
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.
