About me
I am passionate about providing a safe space for individuals to feel able to explore their experiences free of judgement. I have personally felt how impactful and empowering it is to be truly heard and understood by another person, and am committed to offering this supportive space for others.
I am captivated by the vastness and diversity of human experience and am grateful to have worked with people of varying ages and different walks of life. I have experience working with neurodiversity, including those who feel curious about their experiences, and those who identify as neurodivergent (for example ADHD or Autism). Those who are neurodivergent, or are questioning whether they are, may hold feelings of being different, feel misunderstood by others, or struggle to keep up with daily demands of life. Such experiences can in turn lead to feelings of stress, anxiety, depression, or burnout.
As a person-centred therapist I offer a steady presence, staying alongside you to help navigate and explore the difficulties you are experiencing together. I believe that you are the expert in your own experience. My aim is to offer you acceptance, empathy and non-judgement, with the hopes of being able to gain a closer understanding of you. Through our shared efforts, this will shed some light on your true and authentic self, helping you to feel more attuned and connected with yourself and your mental health.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and I am committed to practising within their ethical framework.
When completing my counselling diploma, I undertook placements at Heads Together (free counselling service for 11-24 year olds), Release (a counselling service for women) and Flourish (a low-cost counselling service).
- Level 4 Certificate in Therapeutic Counselling from Haulm, who specialise in the Person-Centred Approach.
- Level 3 Counselling Certificate with the CPTA (Counselling and Psychotherapy Training Academy)
- Level 2 Counselling Certificate
- Psychology BSc at the University of Sussex.
I have 6 years of experience working with children and young adults with learning difficulties, initially as a support worker and later as an assistant psychologist. Throughout, I worked with neurodivergent individuals, including Autism and ADHD, developing a greater understanding and an interest in supporting those who are neurodivergent.
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).
