About me
I am an intuitive, caring and compassionate person, having the ability to form relationships easily and make people feel seen, valued and heard.
I worked within the military environment for 12 years supporting various aspects of bereavement, transition, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns, although, this list is not exhaustive. I work holistically with the mind, body and spirit. I believe that a lot of physical and mental ailments are linked to emotional and psychological trauma. Working through these past experiences can help to lift your mood, gain clarity and self-awareness. This will also allow you to choose different ways of being and make more informed choices about what is right for you in the future.
Training, qualifications & experience
I often relate feeling to be like the sea, sometimes life is nice, calm and pleasant and at other times it’s choppy and overwhelming with feelings like you’re drowning or silently and frantically kicking to keep your head above the water.
I want to be there to support you – not to rescue you as that’s not my job. But to help you to call for that lifeboat, and when it comes, to have the confidence to hang onto the side whilst you get your breath back. We can work together on coping strategies to support you in mustering the courage and strength to climb into the boat before and know when you are ready to safely head back to land.
The foundation of my practice is humanistic which means that I will support you in exploring your thoughts, feelings and behaviours to help you to better understand yourself.
I offer to work creatively if this is something that you are open to. This will become apparent as our relationship develops.
I appreciate honesty, if I am not the right fit for you then please just say and we can discuss signposting to an alternative therapist. I will also be honest with you as I adhere to the BACP Codes and Ethics.
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.
