About me
I offer a calm, supportive, and healing space where you can talk about your feelings and work towards meaningful change.
My aim is to make you feel heard, understood, and empowered to figure out what you want in life.
I have worked with a range of issues, including anxiety and depression, alcohol & drug use, shame and trauma, domestic violence, and sexual abuse.
I draw on present-moment Gestalt awareness and Psychodynamic insights to help deepen your understanding and start to move forward.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a Level 7 Integrative Counsellor with an MSc in Integrative Counselling from Newman University. I also have lived experience of alcoholism.
I bring together theoretical components from Gestalt and Psychodynamic therapeutic models into a base relational stance, whilst adding in selected elements of cognitive behavioural therapy and constructivism.
This approach places strong emphasis on a multi-level understanding of the therapeutic relationship.
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.
