About me
I have trained in existential psychotherapy, and I apply this in my work with clients. The starting point is the experience of the client, to provide the opportunity for them to examine their understanding of life, and the problems and dilemmas they face; to reassess their goals and desires. It provides an opportunity to consider how their choices have been constrained, perhaps by the views and expectations of others, but also by constraints rooted in our society. Understanding can lead to questioning, and growth, possibly in new directions.
We would not approach therapy with any preconceptions or psychological models into which you might ‘fit’. Rather, we work outwards from your experience and understanding to broaden and clarify the choices that you can make in your life.
‘it is not the understanding that follows technique, but the technique that follows understanding’.
Training, qualifications & experience
I completed my training at The New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling to the level of PGDip. I am continuing my studies towards the MA in Counselling and Psychotherapy.
During my professional development I have also done the following training :
Relational Depth in Counselling & Psychotherapy (2020)
Specialist Training in Loss, Complicated Grief & Traumatic Bereavement (2017)
Short course in Existential Child Psychotherapy (2017)‘Transitions’ – Four day
intensive course in Counselling and Psychotherapy with a Soulful Perspective (2016)
I have worked with people of all ages, and clients dealing for a range of concerns, including bereavement, anxiety, self-esteem, and identity issues.
I have substantial experience working with teenagers and young adults, including those with learning difficulties.
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.
