About me
I am an integrative counsellor, and I am registered with the BACP.
I provide an empathic, supportive space where you can feel safe to open up and feel seen and heard for who you are.
I understand the pressures people can put upon themselves, which are unhelpful and can lead to damaging coping strategies. I will work with you to identify healthier ways of managing anxiety, low self-esteem and further underlying issues. I feel passionate in the potential of therapy to support you through difficult times in your life.
Integrative counselling with John
I have an integrative approach, meaning that I draw on several ways of working according to what a client’s needs might be.
We will work together to identify patterns of behaviour and thoughts that may be causing difficulties in your life. By looking at these patterns and the experiences that underlie them, we can work to make changes that will lead to better psychological health and well-being.
I am also trained in hypnotherapy and can offer that alongside therapy when appropriate if you think it may be useful in our work together.
Training, qualifications & experience
- Diploma in Integrative Therapeutic Counselling
- Hypnotherapy PCHyp
- L6 Advanced Certificate in Clinical Supervision, including online and telephone working
Because I work with a diverse group of individuals and am exposed to a variety of surroundings, I have a great lot of regard for and empathy for different viewpoints and opinions.
Because of my experience, I can work well with and assist individuals from a range of backgrounds.
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.

Further information
I have experience working in a variety of settings, including within the NHS. Working with a diverse group of people has given me a deeper understanding of cultural differences and I have strong empathy and respect for different viewpoints. My experience has given me the ability to connect and successfully support people from a wide range of backgrounds.
