About me
Hello. I am a compassionate and experienced psychotherapist working from spacious and comfortable premises in Marple, face to face, on-line and by phone. I offer long or short term therapy to people over the age of eighteen.
I aim to create a space that feels safe enough for you to explore whatever it is you need to bring, to feel heard and start to start to heal. Together we will look at what is happening from different angles and you may be surprised at the choices and insights that arise.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am trained to MSc level in person-centred and experiential psychotherapy and am accredited with the United Kingdom Council of Psychotherapists. This ensures I have a high level of training and experience and that I remain updated in my practice.
As well as my private practice I have counselled for MIND the mental health charity and have provided bereavement counselling for Macmillan.
Before becoming a therapist I worked as a nurse and midwife. I learnt to appreciate the strength people could find when encountering their most extreme emotions and how to be with people at these times.
I have worked as a specialist midwife in mental health and now have a speciality in mental health problems around pregnancy, birth and parenting. Please see my website for more details.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
