About me
I offer a safe, non-judgemental space to sit with you, whether you are in emotional distress, in need of support with how to make changes in your life, or if you need to talk to someone and make sense of how you feel. My aim is to support you, and help you to get the most from counselling. I have lived experience of Cassandra syndrome, and work closely with neurodiversity, particularly Adhd, Audhd, Autism, Rejection sensitivity disorder, and how these can impact on your understanding of yourself and your identity. (especially late diagnosed). I work with relationship difficulties between couples too. Seeking counselling support can feel uncomfortable, and can bring up difficult emotions. If you feel that I could be the counsellor to meet your needs, please get in touch to book in.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have my Level 4 diploma in integrative counselling skills, as well as my L2 and L3 counselling qualification. I have completed a course in dealing with distress/working with suicide and self harm. I am a cpcab counselling tutor, and qualified to teach L2 and L3 counselling skills. I work freelance for a local children's bereavement charity and have volunteered for the charity for the past 3yrs. This has given me valuable skills and knowledge around bereavement and loss in families and relationships.
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 National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
