About me
Everyone has their own reason for starting their therapy journey: either feeling stuck, desiring to change but not knowing how or simply wanting to explore oneself. Whatever brings you to therapy, my approach is to walk along with you in exploring your needs, struggles and simply you. In my experience, exploring oneself brings more peace with oneself, and helps one to have more fulfilling relationships with others. l am also aware of how our background and culture play a significant role in shaping our identities, which is another focus in exploring with my clients if they wish to.
I work relationally based on psychodynamic and person-centred approaches. This means that l am interested in exploring how our early life experiences might have shaped our present self and how we relate to others. It is my ethical responsibility to offer a safe and trusting therapeutic space. Empathic and non-judgmental listening are the keys to my approach.
While l work with clients with a variety of struggles such as depression, anxiety, trauma, self-harm, self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief and existential questions, it is my experience and privilege to see these issues lose their intensity and clients would like to explore themselves further and feel closer to themselves, beyond their struggles.
Training, qualifications & experience
l have 8 years of client experience from various ages and backgrounds. I also hold a Clinical Psychology degree along with a Counselling and Psychotherapy diploma which helps me to have a better understanding of mental health and work more holistically with my clients.
While I prefer to work on a long-term weekly basis, I am open to working both short and long periods, fortnightly or monthly checking, based on what you need. The length of sessions is 60 minutes.
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.
