About me
As a qualified and accredited Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist with an Interpersonal approach, I focus on building a therapeutic relationship with the people I work with and flexibly tailor my interventions to each individual with respect to their unique character and needs.
My focus is on the interpersonal aspects of human experience, with an understanding of the importance of relationships for a healthy and fulfilling life; this includes your relationship with others and with yourself, and thus I believe a balanced focus on your internal and external experience is key.
I can help you to learn more helpful and skillful ways to manage your emotions and to understand your behaviour and the behaviour of others, in order to adapt and develop more confidence and competence in dealing with challenging emotions and difficult situations.
I use creative techniques where this feels right and will collaborate with you to adapt my approach throughout our work. I value feedback and encourage personal autonomy and empowerment in the relationships I build.
I enjoy working with children and adolescents as well as adult clients and am passionate about helping people to move towards greater well-being and more fulfilling and connected lives.
Approaches I integrate include:
- Person-centred Therapy
- Compassion-Focussed Therapy
- Psychodynamic Therapy (attachment-focussed)
- Interpersonal Therapy
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
- Dialectical Behavioural Therapy
- EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing)
Flexible session durations and frequencies can be arranged, both remotely and face-to-face.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am fully accredited with the BACP and have helped people with depression, anxiety, grief, anger, self-esteem, and various other issues. I hold a Post-Graduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy which is accredited by the BACP.
I am also a qualified EMDR practitioner, this powerful, evidence-based approach allows me to work effectively with a range of presenting problems, including PTSD from single incident trauma, cPTSD from complex trauma/accumulative trauma, addictions, anxiety, depression, limiting core beliefs, phobias and eating disorders.
I have specialist training and experience in working with young people (children/teenagers) and have trained with the NHS as an accredited practitioner of Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Adolescents (IPT-A).
I have also completed training in Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and have experience working in NHS crisis teams, allowing me to work confidently with emotional dysregulation, self-harm and suicidal ideation and I integrate these tools into my practice where appropriate.
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.
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.
