About me
Now, let me ask you a question:
What does it mean to be yourself in a society that discourages self-expression?
To live in a world that disconnects us from each other and from ourselves. A world that distracts us from what’s important and meaningful.
The messages we receive from people is not ‘be who you are’, but instead ‘be what I need’.
In such a place, being ourselves is a revolutionary act.
In what ways are people telling us to be what they need? I’m glad you asked.
It can be as simple as a raised eyebrow, or a disparaging look.
Or more obvious do’s and don’ts.
We get the message.
The way out of this is to receive new, better messages.
To have a connection with somebody who is encouraging us to express ourselves. A connection with somebody who will respect and accept us with no conditions.
This is what you will find in my therapy room.
Together we will build resilience and trust in ourselves which you can ultimately use as a springboard to a better life.

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.
