About me
My model of working with clients is to use a person-centred approach although I can where applicable use an integrative model. I believe strongly that the client's voice is heard and respected. I will not rush you into telling your story but sit with you as your painful story is told. I will hopefully help you to free yourself from whatever it is that causes your pain. I have 25 years experience working with Anxiety, Depression, Bereavement, Suicide, Teenage and Adult abusive relationships, Self harm, Substance Misuse, Abortion, Physical and Sexual Abuse, Emotional Harm. and issues around Gender and Gender Identity.
I work with all age groups and during this time of uncertainty, I offer sessions using Zoom, the phone or text.
Training, qualifications & experience
I gained my Diploma with the CPCAB 25 years ago. I have worked throughout that time in schools and some private practice. I am fully qualified to work online and gained my certificate with the Counselling Tutor which has been recognised by the National Counselling Society. I am a trainee Supervisor training with CSTD in London. I regularly undertake CPD in the areas that I have listed as having experience in. I have experience in working in teams and regularly have referrals from Social Services and Mental Health facilities.
Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
