About me
I am a BACP Accredited Integrative Therapist, Accredited EMDR Therapist, Couples Therapist and Clinical Supervisor and offer short and long term therapy solutions.
I specialize in trauma work, past and recent, using EMDR therapy and offer Integrative Therapy for an array of other presenting issues.
You will find me a very up-front, congruent, honest, accepting and empathic individual with a good sense of humor, who aims to provide the very best service I can for my clients.
The basis of my counselling work involves awareness building and an emphasis in the ’here and now’, which means moving away from the regretful hurt of the past and the anxieties of worrying about the future. This helps clients focus towards being able to express themselves verbally and emotionally, identify emotions where numbness or unsure feelings exist and move forward in a positive, truthful and healthy way.
This approach can help clients become comfortable with their inner-self in order to move on from situations and function with a better inner peace than before, promoting healthier self worth beliefs.
Training, qualifications & experience
I work with most issues presented in therapy including Couples Therapy and have experience in working in many areas of Mental Health. My specialist areas are trauma (PTSD), depression, anxiety and self worth/esteem issues.
I have practiced in many mainstream Counselling services such as NHS funded services and Mental Health charities such as MIND. I have also worked with staff from the Armed Forces, Police and Government based services.
I am qualified up to BA Hons degree level in Professional Counselling Practice, a fully Registered, Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy, MBACP (Accred.), an Accredited member of EMDR UK & Europe and a registered Couples Therapy For Depression Practitioner & Clinical Supervisor.
I am also a qualified Clinical Supervisor and offer Supervision to other therapists or workers in caring, supportive roles and can provide training in therapy practice.
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.
