About me
I am a person-centred therapist offering compassionate, empathic and non-judgemental therapy for those experiencing a difficult period in their life. I provide an individual approach to ensure the therapy is best suited for your needs.
My aim is to provide a warm, welcoming and safe environment for clients, helping to gain understanding and clarity around a situation and difficulties, and to find a way forward. The relationship between myself and my client is an integral part, together we will build a trust, confidence and support which will in turn enable us to work together and through our sessions you will grow to become the best version of you, to enable you to move forward in your own best interest and continue your life’s journey.
Whether you have tried counselling before or you may be considering it for the first time, the first session will help us ascertain whether our working together is right for you. I work within the BACP Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy, providing long or short-term counselling.
Training, qualifications & experience
- Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling (Person Centred)
- Registered Member of British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)
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.
