About me
Hello, I’m Kaz.
My approach as a therapist is friendly, creative and gentle, whilst supporting you to explore and make meaning of your thoughts and feelings. My aim is to help you deepen your understanding of your processes and build your self-awareness.
Finding the right therapist to work alongside with, I believe is very important.
To help ease any uncertainty, I offer a free session. At this initial meeting, we have time to introduce ourselves and for you to experience the shared and non-judgemental space. Here we can discuss your reasons for seeking therapy right now and how we might be able to work together.
Training, qualifications & experience
My counselling journey started with Cruse Bereavement Care. I trained as a volunteer counsellor visiting people in their homes who were dealing with loss and grief. I continued my studies in London and have a Postgraduate Diploma in Gestalt Studies (Level 7). I am also a Registered member of the BACP.
My Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is ongoing training which keeps me informed and allows me to update my skills and importantly, keep learning.
Apart from my own private practice, I have experience of working with several other counselling charities.
I can offer both short and long-term therapy.
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.
