About me
I understand that coming to therapy may seem daunting, and it might feel like you don’t know where to begin. I will do all I can to put you at ease and create a supportive, reflective space in which you feel safe. My priority is the relationship we will build, as this creates the perfect arena for challenging old patterns and starting something new. This is a place to say exactly how you are feeling, without fear of judgement or rejection.
We will explore the problems you are facing together, at a pace you are comfortable with. I work with clients collaboratively, as equal partners in an alliance.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a master's degree in Psychotherapy and Counselling, and am registered with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists. I have three years experience working in private practice.
You may have heard of therapeutic modalities like CBT and psychoanalysis, as well as existential and humanistic psychotherapies.
Something these approaches have in common is the idea that we can often internalise scripts about others and ourselves that stand in the way of true connection. My approach is integrative, meaning that I have training in each of these ways of working but adapt to provide a therapy that changes with you and looks deeply at how your past experiences shape your present, but also about your identity more widely, what you value and find meaningful. My focus will always be on understanding you as fully as I can.
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.
