About me
Therapy is an opportunity to get to know yourself better, recognise patterns in your thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and unpick which parts you would like to change.
The main approach I use is cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which involves the use of frameworks or tools to evaluate your own thinking and come to your own conclusions, ideally ones that are more balanced and flexible.
As a practitioner, the space I provide for therapy is confidential, safe, and accepting of all parts of you. The parts you show others, but also the parts you don’t. Maybe even the parts you don’t show yourself, or you didn’t know were there. I will hold space for all of you; with no timelines, expectations, or judgements.
If you're ready to take the first step and think I would be a good fit, please get in touch.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, holding a Post Graduate Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Groupwork, and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP).
I have experience working with a variety of anxiety disorders (social anxiety, generalised anxiety, OCD, phobias, panic disorder and health anxiety), depression and low self-esteem. However, while I understand labels and diagnoses are helpful to some people, they are not a pre-requisite to benefit from therapy.
For the past several years, I have also worked as a counsellor at a local suicide crisis centre, working in person and over the phone to support people at risk through challenging mental health crises.
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.
