About me
Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed or depressed? Struggling with low self-esteem or identity concerns? Do you find yourself struggling to navigate relationships or stuck in/drawn to relationships that are unsupportive, unfulfilling or traumatic? Or perhaps you feel weighted down by past or present experiences that make it hard for you to enjoy or move forward with your life?
Whatever life may have thrown at you, I offer a thoughtful space in which we can explore your experiences and challenges together. My approach is contemporary and draws from many disciplines but is, at its core, psychodynamic which means that, amongst other things, we may explore how your experiences in the past might be influencing your present. This can help to clarify your present situation and offer possibilities for change which we can work on together if that feels right for you.
As a practitioner with a multicultural background, I understand the importance of working mindfully with difference and diversity and continually update my understanding of how this can impact an individual’s sense of self and past and present experiences. I offer an inclusive space regardless of how you might experience these challenges as an individual.
I offer short or long term online therapy depending on your needs and circumstances. We would start with a free initial consultation on Zoom to see how we might work together. If you did decide to go forward with me, sessions would be at an agreed time each week and last for 50 minutes to an hour.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a Masters degree in Contemporary Therapeutic Counselling from the University of Hertfordshire and over ten years post-qualification experience.
Additionally, I hold a qualification in Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy, a Level 1 Certificate in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, training in Brief Solution Focused Therapy and a Diploma in Cognitive Hypnotherapy.
I am an accredited member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and abide by the BACP's ethical framework for good practice in counselling and psychotherapy.
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.
