Introductions
Hello, I'm Jamie. I am a BABCP accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist (CBP), a BACP accredited Integrative Counsellor and a qualified Clinical Supervisor. I work with individuals and offer a warm, friendly and supportive atmosphere, in order to promote development and change.
Therapeutic Approach
I work primarily as a CBP and work within the Ethical Frameworks of the BACP and BABCP. Although CBT is a recommended therapy for people suffering from depression and/or anxiety, I also tailor my approach to suit your needs. I also use my integrative training to provide Person-Centred/Psychodynamic counselling, and can work to both short and longer term timeframes - I am happy to discuss your options.
Qualifications and Memberships
It is important you chose a therapist who is both appropriately qualified and who is accountable to a professional body. I hold a Bs/c degree in Psychology, an MA in Integrative Counselling, and a Post Graduate Diploma in CBT.
I hold Full Accreditation as a CBT Therapist with the BABCP; I am listed on BABCP's official register of CBT therapists - http://www.cbtregisteruk.com/Default.aspx
I am also an Accredited Registered Member of the BACP - http://www.bacpregister.org.uk/check_register/
I work hard to ensure my therapeutic knowledge is up to date by attending CPD events and have regular supervision. My CRB check is also kept up to date.
Experience
I have many years' experience working with children, adolescents and adults, and currently work with adults from a range of backgrounds. I continue to work with people suffering from a vast range of difficulties. As well as running a private practice, I also work as a therapist for the mental health charity Mind, and have done for over nine years.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a Registered Member of the BACP (MBACP - Accred).
I am also a Fully BABCP Accredited CBT Therapist.
I am also a qualified Clinical Supervisor and have studied IAPT CBT supervisory practice at the University of Surrey as well as a BACP approved certificate in Clinical Supervision. I have also undertaken the UDOL post-grad certificate in Clinical Supervision. I currently supervise counsellors, High Intensity trainees and trainee and qualified PWPs.
I hold a Bs/c in Psychology, a Postgraduate Certificate in Counselling Skills, a Masters degree in Integrative Counselling, and a Post-Graduate Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy.
I began my counselling career working with adolescents with mental health issues within a secondary school. This overlapped with me working as a counsellor at Mind, where I have worked since 2009. I have also worked as an online counsellor, working with children and young people. I completed further study at Salomons (Canterbury Christ Church University) in order to train as a Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist.
