About me
Having the courage to even look at getting support is no small thing and whatever you are going through, I hope I can help.
I am a fully qualified counsellor and a member of the BACP. I'm based in London and offer online counselling.
I am an integrative counsellor which means I am trained in a number of different approaches including Person-Centred, Psychodynamic and CBT. I put you at the heart of our sessions and tailor my approach to what is best suited to you.
Research indicates that no matter what type of counselling or therapy you receive, the most important aspect is the relationship between you and the counsellor. Therefore, I focus on building a foundation of trust and understanding so that you can feel safe to explore the more difficult parts of yourself.
I have experience working with people from a range of cultures and backgrounds including those from the LGBTQIA+ community and I aim to provide an inclusive and welcoming space.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a professional diploma in therapeutic counselling and am a registered member of BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists). I'm governed by their Ethical Framework for Counselling Professions.
I can help with a wide range of difficulties but have particular experience supporting those who are struggling in a creative field, have anxiety, depression, family difficulties, or have experienced bullying or trauma.
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.
