About me
I am a person-centred therapeutic counsellor registered with the BACP and accredited by the NCPS.
Through my private practice, I provide a confidential and respectful counselling service to adults, either face-to-face, online, or over the telephone. My approach is purely person-centred, and I am happy to work on either a short or long-term basis, covering a wide range of concerns.
During sessions, I work to create a warm, inviting place free from my own needs or expectations, allowing you to unpack any thoughts in a judgement-free space. Through this work together, we can then allow for the greatest chance of a brighter understanding, allowing for a more meaningful, connected, and authentic self to emerge.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully insured, fully qualified, registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists) and an accredited member of the NCPS (The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Service), as a therapeutic counsellor. I also hold an Honours degree in psychology approved by the BPS - British Psychological Society and a Post Graduate Diploma in Psychological Therapies.
I work for an NHS counselling service and have several years of experience with the charity MIND in their mental health crisis pathway, as well as an NHS community mental health team. I have also provided voluntary counselling for a women’s domestic abuse charity in Leicester.
I adhere to the code of ethics as set by the BACP and the NCPS and undertake monthly supervision sessions while maintaining my continual professional development.
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.
