About me
*Accepting new clients for January*
Would you like to make a real change for 2025?
Are you a millennial and feeling stuck with where you are in life? Perhaps you are noticing feeling more anxious but can't really explain why. Would you like to talk through a recent change in your life, such as becoming a parent? Maybe you don't feel happy in your current job and would like to talk this through.
My practice is in Walthamstow Village and I can see clients in person or online.
Counselling provides you with an opportunity to talk about whatever you want in a safe environment with the knowledge that everything you say is completely confidential. You will be listened to sincerely and without judgement.
Through talking through your issues, counselling can help you discover and use your inner resources, enabling you to better cope with life’s issues and perhaps finding some solutions.
Life can often feel fast paced and overwhelming, especially in the city. Having a regular time allocated to you, allowing you space to feel and say what you need can be truly invaluable.
My training is in Integrative Counselling, and as such I am a great believer of not one model fits everyone, and rather prefer to draw on my learning and knowledge to apply the approach best for your needs. We will work together at a pace that you're comfortable with. I believe that the past can significantly inform the present, but that it is also important to be in the moment and work with what is happening now.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a BSc in Psychology and a Diploma in Integrative Counselling
I have worked in GP settings, charities, and private practice. I also have extensive experience working with more severe mental health issues such as Psychosis.
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.
