About me
I am a Walk and Talk counsellor, offering counselling sessions for adults that take place outdoors whilst we walk side by side rather than sitting in a traditional therapy room.
The approach can feel more relaxed and natural for many people, helping to ease anxiety and support conversation. I work from a person-centred approach, meaning I provide a safe, non-judgemental and empathic space where clients are supported to explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace.
I believe that walk and talk counselling recognises the therapeutic benefits of movement, fresh air and nature, while always placing the client's needs, autonomy and lived experience at the heart of the process.
I offer online or telephone sessions also.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.
I am currently Learning Welsh and BSL, in hope to support clients in Welsh and those who face barriers to counselling within the deaf community.
I hold an Online and Telephone qualification to support clients via telephone and over Zoom when weather is not on our side, although some people find walking in the rain beneficial. This is the client choice.
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.
