About me
Hello and very warm welcome!
- Do you feel dissatisfied with your life, or parts of it?
- Does life feel hard?
- Are you stuck in repeating cycles?
- Are you feeling anxious, low, depressed, confused, overwhelmed, betrayed, angry, or simply stuck?
Good to meet you! If you'd like things to change, but unsure how, or where to start, let's work together. Change starts here. I understand it can feel uncomfortable, or even daunting to ask for help.
The good news is, that you came to the right place. I will be happy to work alongside you, to help you see things from a different perspective, equip you with tools to release your full potential and help you move towards your goals.
Over the past 11 years I have helped many people with wide range of issues, including anxiety, stress, depression, relationships, self-esteem, confidence, loss, feeling stuck, parenting, identity and neurodiversity.
I particularly enjoy and have extensive experience working with any form of anxiety as well as issues related to relationships, family dynamics and parenting.
I also have a wealth of experience and interest in supporting mothers and fathers on their journey through parenthood.
Before becoming a therapist and throughout my training I spent many hours working in childcare, alongside families, gaining invaluable insight into relationship patterns, attachment styles, generational pass-down, parenting and coping strategies and how these play out in the wider context in our lives.
I will bring this experience with me into our therapy work. It will help us identify which patterns and coping strategies are keeping you stuck and which make sense to you, help you flourish and are worth keeping and expanding on.
When you come to me, you will be welcomed into a warm, non-judgemental, safe and confidential space. I appreciate that all of us view and understand the world in a unique way, through the lens of our past experiences and so, the style and pace of our work will be tailored to you - your individual aims and needs.
I offer a free 20 minute consultation. Give me a call, or drop me an email. I will be happy to hear from you.
Thanks for visiting!
Training, qualifications & experience
Experience:
Over the past 11 years I have gained considerable experience working in voluntary, academic, NHS and private sectors in various settings across South West London and Surrey.
My experience includes working as an associate counsellor at Kingston University and as a counsellor in a busy NHS Medical Centre / GP surgery, awarded an outstanding rating for its counselling services in their Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection.
I also have an extensive experience working in childcare, which gives me a good understanding of family dynamics, parenting and attachment issues.
Training:
I have a Degree (BSc Hons) in Psychology and Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling accredited by the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB). I work within BACP’s ethical framework for good practice, receive a regular supervision and follow a programme of continuing professional development to keep my practice up-to-date and to enhance my knowledge.
My style of work is integrative and relational - this means that I am able to draw upon various theoretical approaches and therapeutic techniques, such as psychodynamic, person-centred and solution-focused theories, including CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy). The core of my work lies in creating a good and trusting relationship. Helping people to fulfil their potential by reconnecting with and building on their strengths and inner resources.
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.
