About me
Are you feeling stuck, burnt out, anxious, or carrying a weight that is becoming harder to manage?
I understand that taking the first step into therapy can be difficult and can feel daunting. I offer a space where you will be free to talk openly without pressure or fear of judgement.
My approach is to offer practical and direct support. We will work together to help you make sense of what you are experiencing, whether this pressure or stress from work, from relationships or a general feeling of being overwhelmed.
I offer a place for you to unpack things, gain clarity and build strategies so that you can regain control over your life. You do not need to figure it out on your own.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified integrative therapist, meaning that my service can be targeted towards your specific needs. I come from a person-centred and relational perspective, which means that you are central to how we work in a session.
We will go at your pace, and I will offer a confidential, non-judgemental environment. My empathetic nature will help to build the working relationship and make sure that you feel fully listened to.
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.
