About me
Finding the right therapist is an important part of the counselling process, bearing in mind the therapeutic relationship is key in driving growth or change. I am warm, approachable and down to earth, offering a safe space to explore whatever difficulties you or your child may be experiencing.
As an integrative counsellor, I combine different ways of working, with a person-centred focus. I will adapt the way I work so that it suits you, paying attention to what is important to you, allowing you to trust in yourself and gain an insight into your true feelings.
I have worked with anxiety, stress, depression, self-harm and suicidal thoughts, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief, gender and sexuality, neurodivergence, and more.
Please call, text or e-mail me to arrange a free introductory chat about how we could work together.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified counsellor working with adults, children and young people (11 – 18) and work as a school counsellor alongside my private practice. I have over 10 years' experience of working with children in schools in educational support roles as well as counselling.
I have a Level 5 Diploma in Counselling Children and Young People (11-18) & a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling both with Counselling & Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB), approved by the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP).
I am a Member of the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy, following their ethical framework with regular clinical supervision.
I regularly update my Continuing Professional Development, recently attending Suicide Prevention Training (Papyrus), Compassion Focused Therapy and Grief Counselling.
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.
