About me
I am a BACP Senior Accredited Counsellor with over 20 years of experience working privately, within the NHS, Civil Service and for private medical companies. I also work as a Clinical Supervisor.
Couple relationships are complicated and can be challenging. I aim to provide a safe and confidential place for you to talk through your thoughts and feelings where you will feel understood, respected and supported. I will enable you to explore and clarify your difficulties and gain a deeper understanding of these difficulties. I will help you to better communicate and relate to each other to improve the quality of your relationship so you can move forwards together in a more satisfying and healthy way.
My initial couple counselling training was psychoanalytic. However, over the years I have developed a more flexible approach to my work which integrates a range of orientations to meet the individual needs of my clients. I am also trained and experienced working with couples with psychosexual issues.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a degree in Psychology and a Post-graduate Diploma in Counselling obtained at the University of Hertfordshire. I am a qualified Couple and Marital Therapist, IAPT counsellor in Counselling for Depression and I have a qualification in Psychosexual Studies. I am also a qualified and experienced Clinical Supervisor.
I currently work privately with couples. I also work with individuals, for various organizations and medical insurance companies including BUPA, AXA PPP and Aviva.
I subscribe to the code of ethics as described in the BACP Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy.
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.
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.
