About me
Hi there,
I am a fully qualified and experienced counsellor and an Accredited Member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). I provide counselling therapy for individuals and couples, either online (via Zoom) or in person at my Tunbridge Wells practice.
Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious or unsure how to move forward, therapy offers a space to explore what might be going on beneath the surface. Together we can begin to understand the patterns that may be shaping your emotions, relationships or sense of self, and explore how these patterns may have developed over time. From there, we can begin to find a way forward that feels more manageable and meaningful.
I work as an integrative counsellor, meaning that I have been trained in a number of therapeutic approaches and will combine these in a way that best supports each clients individual needs. This approach recognises that every person’s experiences are unique and require their own individualised way of working.
Training, qualifications & experience
Alongside my private practice, I have gained experience working with adults across a range of settings, including educational environments and within the charitable and voluntary sector. This has included offering both short and long term therapy to individuals experiencing a wide range of life challenges and emotional difficulties.
I hold a Level 6 Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling (BACP accredited) and have undertaken advanced training in Couples Therapy with Juliet Grayson.
I am an Accredited Member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). Accreditation recognises experienced therapists who have demonstrated a high standard of training, supervised clinical practice and commitment to ethical and professional standards. I hold an enhanced DBS check and full professional insurance.
Alongside my core training, I continue to engage in ongoing professional development. Additional areas of training include:
• Internal Family Systems (IFS)
• Trauma-informed practice, including training with Carolyn Spring
• Grief and loss support with Cruse
• Addiction and recovery work, including substance misuse and relapse prevention
• Life Span Integration
• Breathwork to support nervous system regulation
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.
