About me
Thank you for visiting my profile. Let me tell you a little about me...
I am a qualified & experienced person centred counsellor with specialist training in the perinatal period & maternal mental health.
My approach is down-to-earth and relaxed. It is so important that you find a therapist that feels like the right fit for you.
How I work:
There are no expectations or targets for our sessions other than you find them to be helpful and beneficial. I'd love to be able to say I can fix it all and suddenly make everything better, but no one can do that (run away from anyone that says they can!), it's really about you having the space to explore what's going on for you.
We talk about your feelings, beliefs and behaviours so that you can get to know yourself better, your situation and find better ways to cope or manage what's going on for you. I'm there to help guide you and find understanding in that process.
I'm trained in humanistic person-centred therapy which is a non-directive approach. I won't tell you what to do because I really believe you know yourself and your unique situation better than anyone else and I can help you find out what that means personally to you. I do sometimes offer tools and techniques from other counselling methods if you feel that would be helpful to you. In the sessions we can unpack what it is you really need and decide that together.
Sometimes we really just need to offload to someone without judgement, in a safe space, rather than taking those feelings elsewhere and expressing them in less helpful ways. That's been my personal and professional experience anyway :)
You may feel like a couple of sessions gives you clarity or you might want several, or ongoing sessions - it can be quite a rollercoaster when we start to get to know ourselves better, it's completely up to you how you use the sessions and what you want to talk about.
Sessions are available online (via Google Meet) or in the comfort of your own home (South Staffs/West Midlands area). This is especially helpful for those in the postpartum period or where leaving your baby might not be possible. Please get in touch to find out more about how home visits work.
My specialist areas:
I have a particular interest in working with women during the transformative period of becoming a mother and helping mums in finding their own unique way to enjoy motherhood.
While this is definitely my area of interest I also work with many different clients and issues outside of motherhood.
I might be the right counsellor for you if:
- You don't like super formal, clinical therapy approaches and want to work with someone in a relaxed and comfortable way.
- You'd like to work through issues such as identity loss, low self-esteem, overwhelming negative feelings, motherhood and matrescence, postpartum anxiety and/or depression.
Want to know more?
I am always happy to answer any of your questions or concerns via email and I offer a free 20 minute connection call for you to find out more and see if we are good fit for working together.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully qualified and experienced counsellor, with a post graduate diploma in Counselling Psychology from Keele University (2016).
I have specialist training in providing therapy online, the postpartum period and maternal mental health.
I have previously worked as a counsellor in a higher education setting with students and staff and in a charity organisation for adolescents and young adults.
I am fully insured and a registered member of the BACP, adhering to their guidance and ethical framework at all times.
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.
