About me
Hello and thank you for selecting my profile. I am a level 7 qualified person centred existential black counsellor and psychotherapist. I trained at Thames Valley University and qualified in 2005. I have been a member of BACP since then. I was inspired to become a counsellor having experienced counselling myself some 30 years ago. I have a calling to help others and enjoy supporting and empowering adults and young adults to deal with life’s issues.
These include:
- Relationships
- Ethnicity
- Low self-esteem
- Depression
- Bereavement
- Anxiety
- Suicide
- Trauma
- Feeling stuck.
My intention is to create an empathic safe-holding environment in which we can work together to explore any issues that are affecting you based on confidentiality, honesty and trust. I am here to help you to make sense of life’s challenges, to explore your inner self and feelings and to give you tools that could help you to cope better.
Training, qualifications & experience
Clients I have worked with include:
- Cruse Bereavement Care
- Clients in Recovery
- Young Offenders (Feltham Prison)
- Samaritans
- Adults, young adults and the elderly
- Clients with cultural/ethnicity issues
- Additional Qualifications/Certificates in:
- Online Telephone Support
- Trauma
- Suicide
- Bereavement Support
How I work:
I mainly focus on remote counselling via Zoom, Teams and WhatsApp although face-to-face sessions can be arranged if required or preferred. I offer a FREE 10 minute telephone consultation to find out if I am the right counsellor for you.
Session Time:
Normal sessions are 50 minutes long but your first session would last 60 minutes.
My Style:
Person centred existential. I sometimes use alternative tools/props to help clients explore thoughts and emotions that they may not be able to articulate verbally
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.
