About me
Whether you are experiencing anxiety or depression, or another issue that is affecting your well-being at the moment, I can support and help you.
My approach is Person-Centred and I aim to build a safe, trusting and empathic relationship in which clients can process difficult and painful feelings at their own pace. I practice in a fundamentally optimistic and non-judgemental way which is individual to each person I see, to encourage inner resources and strengths and to support emotional well-being.
Life brings us many different challenges and whether you are coming to explore a specific issue or because you would like to understand yourself better, I can help you to enrich your capacity for self-awareness and to realise your potential.
I also have a special interest in eating disorder and body-image issues, and working with young people.
I come from a creative background and in addition to my practice, I am a freelance florist. I also feel that I can contribute some of the understanding and learning that my own life experiences have brought me, to my counselling practice.
Training, qualifications & experience
I completed a four-year Counselling training and have the following qualifications:
Diploma in Humanistic Counselling and a BSc in Reflective Therapeutic Practice from the Metanoia Institute (London W5).
Certificate in Counselling Skills and Attitudes from The Westminster Pastoral Foundation (London SE1).
I have also received additional training and supervision in my placements at the Metanoia Counselling & Psychotherapy Service, and at The Awareness Centre (London SW4).
As well as my Private Practice, I am also a Student Counsellor at the University of West London, and at Conde Nast Fashion College.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) and I abide by their Ethical Framework. I regularly meet with my Clinical Supervisor to confidentially review my work.
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.
