About me
My aim is to work with you to build a supportive and understanding relationship, a space where it feels safe to explore those particular issues which may be limiting your personal development and getting in the way of life. Our work together can help you move towards improved understanding, positive change or a greater acceptance of your situation
My style of working is always determined by the therapeutic relationship which develops between us. Counselling is your space to explore life, understand your sense of self and work towards your own personal goals.
As an integrative practitioner, I embrace a number of theories to help develop a trusting and effective working partnership. I love working in this way - it means that I'm not constrained by one particular theory and our work can adapt to provide you with the best possible support.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully qualified counsellor and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
My first degree is in Integrative Counselling.
I'm currently studying for a MSc in Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy.
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.
