About me
I am an Integrative counsellor working near Woking in Surrey. I offer short or long term therapy and work with adults on a one-to-one, face-to-face basis. I also offer telephone counselling.
My work with clients is about listening and creating a reflective space where it is possible to work through issues. I seek to create a warm relationship which encourages honesty and exploration. I believe that each client is the expert on their own lives so our work is not about me giving advice or finding solutions; it is about enabling the client to find their own way forward.
Counselling can seem like a daunting step especially if you don’t know much about it. That’s why I offer a 30 minute initial session so that we can both explore if counselling is right for you and if we want to work together. Counselling offers you a space away from family and friends to explore what is going on in your life. It can be a space to talk; a space to explore the past, present and future; a space to make connections and patterns; a space to express emotions, a space to sit and think. Most importantly, it is your space and, although exploring your own feelings can be difficult and painful, you are doing so in a safe, non-judgemental space with someone who is with you learning to see life the way you see it and standing with you in your journey.
Training, qualifications & experience
Qualifications
I have a Foundation degree (FdSc) in Integrative Counselling.
NCFE Counselling Skills and Theory, Levels 1-3.
As a registered member of the BACP, I adhere to its ethical framework.
Experience
As well as my private practice, until recently, I volunteered at The Fountain Centre which is a hospital-based charity supporting cancer patients, their families and their carers. This work has strengthened my belief in the way in which therapeutic relationships can sustain, support and promote healing and balance at difficult times. It has given me a huge respect for the way in which people face illness and death and a real interest in working with people coming to terms with illness, death and grief.
I have over a 1000 hours of experience with clients.
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.
