About me
If you are feeling overwhelmed and are in need of support I can help. I'm a qualified registered integrative counsellor and trained mindfulness practitioner with more than 10 years of experience supporting a diverse community of people specialising in stress management, anxiety and depression, trauma, and bereavement and loss.
My aim is to provide you with a warm, safe, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship so that you can explore your difficulties and find a way forward to living a life with greater freedom and ease.
I offer a holistic whole-body approach to mental health and wellbeing, and I am trained to draw on different theoretical approaches including person-centred, CBT and psychodynamic therapies, whilst also incorporating evidence based strategies and practises from mindfulness and compassion based approaches and positive psychology to help facilitate positive change and personal growth.
I offer an initial brief exploratory call free of charge if you would like to find out more.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and abide by their ethical framework which ensures that I work safely and ethically and attend regular ongoing training and professional development.
I hold a Bachelors degree in Psychology (BSc) and an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. I have also received specific training for working online (Certificate in Online Counselling).
More recently I have trained as a Mindfulness Practitioner and occasionally run workshops including the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR).
I have more than 10 years of experience working in several mental health settings including education, care, EAP and private practise.
Currently I work in private practise and for a contemporary mental health service in London.
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.
