About me
I am an empathic and reflective counsellor with a strong commitment for a positive regard of others. My sense of humour and caring attitude has proven to be great assets. I am passionate about mental health, and I believe my excellent theoretical understanding of psychological theories is complemented by a vast work experience. I hold a science degree in Psychology, a Master’s degree in Existential Psychology and Psychotherapy. I also completed a Postgraduate Certificate in clinical supervision.
I see myself as a creative counsellor, who possesses an analytical mind. I am open to working creatively with metaphors, the meaning created through language and visual images, with the felt sense of Self, and bodily sensations. I strive to provide a safe and reflective environment to facilitate a positive change. I have a particular interest in addiction, sensitivity, depression, loss, trauma, anxiety, personal development, cultural issues, identity issues, and relatedness.

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.
