About me
I am an experienced Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor, offering both short and long term therapy, as well as one-off consultations, depending on your needs and reasons for coming to therapy. I provide a confidential and non-judgemental environment within which you can begin to explore and make sense of what is troubling you.
Therapy is very much an individual process, so there are no one-size-fits-all answers or solutions. It is about us designing your therapy together to suit your specific needs, and help you engage in a way that feels natural to you. We could start with a telephone conversation to talk about what you are seeking help with and ask me any questions that you may have about therapy and the way that we would work together.
I believe in drawing on a combination of therapeutic approaches and I have worked in the Criminal Justice System, the NHS, and the Creative Arts, where I have gained experience in helping a wide range of people from all different walks of life.
I have considerable experience in working with:
Generalised Anxiety Disorder
Depression
Work-related stress
Traumatic experiences
Bereavement
Relationship issues
Separation, divorce, affairs/infidelity
Loss of focus / direction
Sexual & body image difficulties
Unexplained physical symptoms (psychosomatic symptoms)
Training, qualifications & experience
MSc in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy, University of London
Advanced Certificate in Clinical Supervision Skills, Approved by the British Psychological Society (BPS)
I attend Continuous Professional Development Courses to explore different therapeutic approaches and I am also interested in contemporary ideas informed by Neurobiology.
I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and I adhere to their ethical framework of good practice.
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.
