About me
Life can sometimes leave us feeling anxious, depressed and confused. Often we don't understand why. Such feelings usually result from difficult or traumatic situations in our past that remain unresolved and are affecting how we live our life in the present.
Psychotherapy and counselling can offer a safe, supportive and confidential space where you can explore and better understand your present life situation and work through the past situations which are still causing difficulty. This can help you to make choices in your life that will support your well-being.
My background is in Psychosynthesis which means I use a person-centred and integrative approach, drawing on different areas of psychotherapy. This helps me to respond to your individual needs. The basic approach is through talking and listening but sometimes other techniques can be useful such as drawing, journaling, guided visualisation and exploring dreams.
I work in-person at Openings in Bath city centre. I also offer sessions online.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained at the Psychosynthesis and Education Trust in London and have a Post Graduate Diploma in Psychosynthesis Counselling, qualifying in 2015. In 2023 I completed an Advanced Diploma in Psychosynthesis Psychotherapy at the Psychosynthesis Trust.
I presently work in-person at Openings in Bath as well as online. Previously I have worked at voluntary counselling services in Trowbridge and Cirencester.
I have twelve years experience of helping people with depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, relationship issues, parenting issues, life-stage problems, finding meaning and purpose in life, spiritual growth, career difficulties and family issues.
I also work with young people from the age of sixteen.
I regularly attend trainings to update my skills, including: neurodiversity, later life challenges, working with trauma, among others. I also deliver workshops to fellow professionals.
I am a registered member of the BACP and a member of the UKCP
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.
