About me
I know that counselling can be a bit daunting at first, or perhaps you feel you really need someone to talk to, I hope to offer you a calm place where you can explore what you need to.
You may be experiencing everyday worries or stresses that you could do with some help understanding. Perhaps you have experienced a lot of changes all at once. Talking to someone impartial can help.
I can offer you an emotionally safe and confidential space in which to explore any issues or difficult feelings you may have. I adapt and tailor my skills to each client’s individual needs, taking an eclectic approach, and I work with my clients to ensure they can get the most out of their counselling sessions. I continually endeavour to offer a collaborative space where you can feel heard, understood, and accepted.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a Foundation Degree in Humanistic Counselling based on Transactional Analysis. I am also a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with over nine years of client experience. As a registered member of the BACP, I abide by their ethical guidelines, requirements for Supervision, and continuing professional development.
I have additional experience working with clients in the following areas: substance misuse, addictions, depression, anxiety, chronic illness, disability, and cancer.
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.
