About me
As a therapist who is trauma-informed and has cerebral palsy, I prioritise the five principles of safety, choice, collaboration, trustworthiness, and empowerment in my practice. I help my clients uncover the ways their personal histories affect them and their body system. Each person has their own unique story, and through therapy and self-discovery, they can gain the insights necessary to move forward. Trauma-informed therapy is inclusive and beneficial for all individuals. I guide you as the expert of your own life, providing a nurturing space for learning and personal growth. My expertise lies in Disability Counselling, Trauma, and Pre-Trial Therapy. I recognise that no one has walked in your shoes, and by acknowledging and respecting your experiences, the path to recovery can begin.
Training, qualifications & experience
Since qualifying, I have worked with many individuals with a wide range of issues from grief, depression, and anxiety. As well as my private practice, I also worked for Rotherham Abuse Counselling Service (ROTHACS), working with individuals dealing with many issues of abuse, be it physical, sexual and many more. I have also worked with individuals with disabilities on many matters, both directly related and indirectly related to their disability. As a therapist with cerebral palsy and a wheelchair user myself, I find my understanding can enhance my awareness when helping individuals work through what they bring.
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.
