About me
Sometimes life seems stuck, with our feelings, thoughts or behaviours. This can become anxiety, depression or feeling disconnected from everything. Sitting with these experiences and being fully listened to by another can help shift stuckness and feelings of anxiety, depression or disconnection. I believe it is fundamental that we experience whatever feelings we have and that we do not distract or rescue ourselves or others from this raw human experience. I offer a space to explore whatever is going on in your life that you want to make changes to.
I have seven years of experience as a therapist working with clients on a wide variety of issues. I also worked with young people at OTR in Bristol as a counsellor and project support worker. I have worked extensively with LGBTQ+ clients during my career, as well as heterosexual and cisgender clients. Previous to this I worked at MCPS in London with clients from a variety of backgrounds and issues.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained at Metanoia Institute and qualified as a humanistic psychotherapist at Masters level, I am registered with the UKCP (2011166288) and also have MBACP registration (397395) and ICO registration for GDPR. I have worked extensively with LGBTQ+ people, also I am passionate about family relationships and parenting. I have experience of working with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, childhood sexual abuse, stress, infidelity and relationship challenges.
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.
