About me
I offer two types of therapy; talking therapy and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing).
Talking therapy
I work using a mainly psychodynamic approach to counselling. An approach to therapy which means that we will explore what lies beneath your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. We will think together about your current and past experiences, and how they may have shaped your beliefs and relationships today. My approach is warm and professional. I believe that talking helps and that therapy opens a door to new understanding and possibilities.
There is no right or wrong way to ‘do’ therapy. Talking therapy offers a confidential space to think and to feel, at a pace that is right for you. You might come with a specific problem in mind or perhaps you just sense that something is not quite right. Whatever your concern, we can think about the issue together.
EMDR
EMDR is a specialist form of psychotherapy, which is used to help process traumatic or distressing memories. During EMDR therapy, memory networks are activated whilst using rapid eye movements. The aim is to engage the brain’s information processing system to allow experiences to be processed and sorted through in a new way that makes sense.
Experiences, feelings, thoughts, and physical sensations will be explored and accurate ways of understanding this information will be discovered. This new understanding can assist in removing distress. It can also allow healthy brain processes to start sorting through and filing away past experiences.
How does it work?
Therapy starts with a conversation.
To begin, we will arrange a telephone consultation to discuss your current situation and to see if I can help. If you decide to take things further, we will then arrange an initial session. This will give us a chance to meet and decide if counselling feels right for you.
If we decide to work together, we will agree on a suitable time and day to meet each week. You might want to start and see how it goes, or you might prefer a certain number of sessions. Together we will shape the therapy by thinking about what is right for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully qualified and experienced psychodynamic counsellor and EMDR practitioner. I have completed a five-year BACP accredited training (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). I am an accredited member of the BACP and adhere to the BACP’s ethical framework. In addition to my private practice, I work for a charitable counselling service.
Specific Qualifications
- 1-year Foundation Certificate in Psychodynamic Counselling
- 2-year Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling (BACP accredited)
- 2-year Advanced Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling (BACP accredited)
- Certificate in Trauma Informed Therapy
- EMDR Europe Accredited Training
- BSc (Hons) from Lancaster University
In addition, I have an enhanced DBS certificate and professional indemnity insurance.
Member organisations
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 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.
