About me

PSYCHODYNAMIC THERAPIST

There are many reasons for coming to therapy but it’s not always easy to know how to get started. By coming to my profile, you have already taken the first step and I hope that the information I provide here will help you to make a decision as to how to proceed. 
You might be very clear about what brings you to therapy and what you want to achieve from it. Or you may not know exactly how to express what you’re feeling, but you know that talking to someone in a safe and confidential space may help.
As a psychodynamic therapist, I offer you that space. Together we can explore your thoughts and feelings, understand how past events can influence the present, and acknowledge patterns of behaviour that may not be serving you.
​Perhaps a recent event has left you feeling de-stabilised, or you still feel affected by something that happened long ago. Maybe you would like to find out more about yourself and how you are impacted by your behaviour or of those around you.

Training, qualifications & experience

I have a Post Graduate Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Brighton.

I am accredited with the British Association for Counselling  and Psychotherapy (BACP) and, as a supervisor, am a registered member of the British Association for Psychodynamic and Psychoanalytic Supervision (B.A.P.P.S.).

Alongside my private practice, I have experience or working with students at the University of Sussex, and clients of all backgrounds and circumstances at The Rock Clinic, a local charity.

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

Registered / Accredited

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
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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.
