About me
Finding a therapist can feel like a minefield. Ultimately you probably want to find someone to talk to that you feel comfortable with, and who can of course help you. I understand how confusing and nerve-wracking it can be to consider therapy and take the first step. I provide clients with a supportive space in which to unpack their challenges. I will help you to get a better handle on what is happening for you, so that you can navigate the challenges you are facing in life. Whether you are struggling with big life events, or just feel lost or low, I'm here to help.
You can find out more about me at http://louiseearletherapy.com. If you are interested in working with me, then we can have a 15 minute call to discuss working together before setting up a first session, if that is preferable. Or we can have a first session in order for you to experience working with me before making a decision.
I am trained in transpersonal therapy. This means viewing the challenges you are experiencing as signs of what you need more of and less of in life rather than a pathology. I tend to work with feelings, thoughts and bodily sensations and consider the realm of soul, or spirit – bringing a psychospiritual lens on things. This may be about working out what it is that you want from life.
Often it starts with helping you to understand the feelings that you are experiencing today.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a Postgraduate Diploma in psychosynthesis counselling from The Psychosynthesis Trust. This is a transpersonal modality. I am a registered member of the BACP.
I have experience of working with:
- people suffering anxiety or depression
- loss and bereavement
- childhood trauma and traumatic midlife events
- loss of meaning or stuckness in life
- difficulties with feelings and emotions, disconnection
- relationship problems.
I also have a background in psychology, with both BSc and MSc qualifications in psychology. I have worked as a psychologist with corporate and public sector organisations for over 15 years, and am certified in cognitive-behavioural coaching.
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.
