Qualifications

I am a Psychologist, a Psychotherapist and a Counsellor. I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), an individual member of United Kingdom of Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) awaiting accreditation and a member of BPS (British Psychology Society).

My training includes a Degree in Psychology, a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychotherapy and Counselling Psychotherapy,an Advance Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy and a diploma as Integrative Supervisor.

How do I work

I am Psychoanalitically informed, which means that we will explore how your present has been affected by your past, but I work Integratively, meaning that I work using my intake of different approaches and techniques (Person-centred, Humanistic, Gestalt, Transactional Analysis and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) in order to tailor therapy on your individual needs.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
