About me
I am an experienced and registered (BACP) therapist, and I offer short and long-term psychotherapeutic counselling for adults as well as couples therapy. Short-term therapy can be between 8 and 16 sessions, depending on the issue and what you may want to achieve. I am based in two locations, Central Reading (Tuesday and Thursday evenings) and Staines-Upon-Thames. I also work online via zoom.
Major life changes might lead you to feel overwhelmed and suffering alone, or you feel stuck and unhappy and desperate for change. If you are struggling with difficult thoughts and feelings, or have a personal relationship or family problem to sort out, you are invited to telephone or email to make an appointment.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am fully qualified with a Post Graduate Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling from the Metanoia Institute.
I am also a member of the following organisations:
- BACP - British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy
- IARTA - The International Association of Relational Transactional Analysis
- UKCP - UK Council for 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.
