About me
I am a qualified, experienced Art Psychotherapist with further training in Family and Systemic therapy and Dyadic Art Psychotherapy. I have worked in the field of trauma, specialising in sexual abuse/violence for fifteen years with children, adolescents, parents and adults through one to one therapy, as well as training and consultation to professionals.
My experience in working with trauma gives me the skills to work with any issue that is affecting you in your life. Together we can begin to look at how past experiences impact on the present and explore ways of moving forward.
I can offer group or individual consultations around trauma, child development/attachment and sexual abuse/exploitation/harmful sexual behaviours.
I am HCPC and BACP registered and a member of BAAT. I work in accordance with Data Protection, Confidentiality and Child Protection.
I am an accredited CPD trainer with CPDUK which ensures my training materials meet quality standards.

Member organisations
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 HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
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.
