About me
My therapy practice (Pharos Counselling) aims to provide a safe, non-judgemental environment for you to explore any difficult emotions, thoughts or behaviours you may be experiencing.
Our counselling approach is integrative. Every client is unique and through integrative psychotherapy, we adapt our approach to compliment the needs of each of our clients. Integrative counselling uses a combination of the person-centred approach, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and the attachment theory.
You will have the choice of having therapy sessions with myself or a student counsellor. Their training enables them to offer counselling to anyone aged 16 or above. Therapy with a student counsellor is £30 per session.
Difficulties we can work with include: depression, anxiety, stress, self-harm, trauma, bereavement, eating disorders, abuse, low self-esteem and phobias.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am BACP accredited and hold a Master's Degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. I have over 6 years of counselling experience.
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.
