About me
I am an integrative counsellor with a Person-Centred core modality meaning the therapeutic relationship is key to our work together and I work alongside you collaboratively through therapy. Other modalities and ways of working also form part of the way I work:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Transactional Analysis (TA)
- Working creatively
- Working holistically
- Motivational interviewing
- Solution-focused brief therapy
- Trauma - Informed
Training, qualifications & experience
I began my career after studying Psychology, working within forensic psychiatric services as a support worker. In this setting I worked with many clients who had been sectioned under the Mental Health Act.
I completed a Post Graduate study in Forensic Psychology and moved into working within Substance Use services as a Drug & Alcohol Practitioner where I have worked for the past 14 years. I am also a BPS Accredited, Level 3 Enhanced Trauma Trainer, delivering Trauma-informed staff training within the NHS.
All of my training and work experiences have led me towards training as a Counsellor and having my own private practice where I offer online and in-person sessions to adults.
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.
