About me
Please allow me to introduce myself as Gill; I am an integrative counselling practitioner which includes Person-Centred theory (Humanism), Psychodynamic theory as this acknowledges a client’s life experiences that have influences on who they are and decisions that have been made; Cognitive Behavioural theory, Solution Focus theory, Play and Creative theory
My clinical practice is working with children from the age of 4 years and over, young people and adults. For professionals, placement counsellors, counselling students and organisations I offer clinical supervision.
I understand that taking the time to find a therapist that who fits your needs can be overwhelming and exhausting. It takes careful consideration. Counselling provides the opportunity to explore issues in a safe and confidential space with a professional and not someone who is part of your personal community.
I have been employed within a variety of diverse settings (schools and organisations) as a counsellor in children’s, young people’s and adult services. Alongside this, my career has included lecturing in Higher Education at BA (Hons) level for 10 years.
My clinic is accessible at Greencroft Industrial Park, and I am available for long-term or short-term face-to-face sessions, online via Zoom and telephone sessions.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have been clinically practicing for 13-years and all of my professional qualifications have been achieved in Universities in the UK.
I hold a recognised qualification in clinical supervision and have been supervising children, young people's and adult work since 2014.
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.
