About me
Hi, my name's Jay and I'm a qualified CBT therapist. I specialise in treating anxiety, depression, OCD and health anxiety. My approach is quite laid back and I strive to create a partnership where I recognise that you are the expert in your life and I am an expert in psychology and together we can use our collective knowledge to craft solutions and overcome the problems in your life.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a post graduate diploma in CBT and group work. And have been seeing clients for over 3 years. I have also done extensive CPD specifically in treating OCD and anxiety related issues, including health anxiety, panic disorder and overcoming phobias.
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.

Further information
Before working as a therapist I have worked in pubs, hotels and shops. I'm an easy going, friendly and non judgemental guy who doesn't take himself too seriously. Working in these jobs has made me a good listener and easy to talk to and feel comfortable with.
