About me
"Asking for help is one of the bravest things you can do, it's not giving up - it's refusing to give up"
I am a Transactional Analysis psychotherapist in advanced clinical training and currently offer 1:1 therapy for anyone over the age of 18. Each session lasts 60 minutes and can be face to face or remote via Zoom. I work from a quiet location near to the centre of York which has car parking available.
For in person sessions, I also offer outdoor or walk and talk therapy. There are several routes near the clinic should you share my love of nature and its healing properties, or wish to experience the benefits of working side by side in open spaces.
Reaching out for help can sometimes seem difficult and overwhelming but together we can explore the changes you wish to make, in a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have worked for almost 15 years with people from all walks of life who have experienced trauma, relationship and attachment difficulties, low confidence and self-esteem, stress, and depression and anxiety.
My work history has included working with substance misuse and addiction both in the community and within the criminal justice system and prisons, and this work has contributed towards me developing a deeply empathic and non-judgemental way of being.
I am an individual member of BACP and UKATA and continually develop my ideas, practice and theory by attending and participating in a wide range of CPD events. I am trained to Level 3 in Adult and Child Safeguarding as well as Mental Health First Aid, and hold full Professional Liability Insurance.
My professional qualifications include:
- Foundation Degree in Drug and Alcohol Counselling University of Leicester.
- TA 101 – The TA Training Organisation, Leeds
- UKATA Post Graduate Diploma in Transactional Analysis Practice.
- Understanding Trauma – The Solihull Approach.
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.
