About me
Are you struggling to make sense of your life?
Do you keep encountering the same issues and patterns in your life and do not understand why?
Do you feel stuck and unable to find a way forward?
Have you experienced a loss and are grieving a loved one or grieving some other aspect of life, i.e. status, a job/career, lifestyle, etc?
I work together with my clients helping them make sense of where they are in their life. Maybe a one-off life event has occurred that you are struggling with or maybe you are repeating patterns in your life that are not serving you. My aim is to leave you feeling more empowered and in control of your life.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified BACP registered psychodynamic therapist with 11 years of experience working with adults and young people over 18 years of age. I have over 11 years of experience working with a bereavement organisation and have helped clients work through complicated grief situations and the roller coaster of emotions that this can bring. Prior to training as a counsellor I worked in the commercial world therefore developing a sound understanding of the pressures that this can bring.
In addition to working in bereavement, I have also worked with many other clients from different backgrounds and presenting with different issues, for example, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, work related issues, marital problems.
I have trained psycho-dynamically which in simple terms means that I look to the past, including childhood to find out how these experiences are, usually unconsciously, affecting the present.
I have also trained in EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) also known as Tapping.
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.
