About me

The journey of healing is a path through despair to hope. I am here to support you to help you heal and overcome whatever challenges you are facing in life.

In my sessions I provide a confidential space where feelings are safely shared, courage is found, and new possibilities can be explored.

‘’In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me lay an invincible summer’’ ~ Camus

Training, qualifications & experience

I hold a Diploma in Integrative Counselling from Middlesex University, Matrix College of Counselling and Psychotherapy.

As an Integrative Counsellor I work using a number of different approaches drawing upon Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, Transactional Analysis and Existential therapies.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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.
