About me
I'm passionate about change and I've been privileged to work with clients who have explored a deeper understanding of themselves and made impactful changes to their daily lives.
I am trained in Humanistic Integrative Therapy and work in a relational way providing a safe, engaged and non judgemental environment for clients to explore their experiences.
I draw upon a wide range of psychological therapies so that my approach is tailored to your needs. I employ different modalities including Transactional Analysis, Gestalt Therapy, and Person-Centred Counselling. I'm happy to go through these with you and find the approach that fits.
I have worked extensively with LGBT+ clients (both in private practice and within LGBT+ specialist charities) as well as residential addiction support and mental health focus.
I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to their Ethical Framework. This means that I work within their strict professional guidelines. I am a fully insured practitioner.
Please note: the best way to make contact is to email me as my phone is off during sessions.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have been working in the therapy field for over 10 years now. The bulk of my experience is working in mental health, addictions and LGBT support. I have held many positions across the health and social care sector including group therapist, team manager and team supervisor within mental health services and addiction rehabilitation services. I feel this has given me a broad experience in working with complex issues as well as focus on different approaches for support.
I hold an Advanced Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling, which means I pull on many different approaches to focus my support on your needs and wishes.
I also work as a trainer delivering training to organisations around working with addiction, working with resistance and working within complex situations.
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.
