About me
I am a Psychotherapist, Supervisor Facilitator and Author with an MA in Humanistic Person-Centred Psychotherapy and a Post Graduate Certificate in Continuing Education.
My approach is based in Person-Centred, Experiential and Systemic ways of working.
My core values reflect the holistic nature of wellness and as such the World Health Organisation definition of health is central to my practice. As such I aim to maintain a portfolio of work which supports physical, psychological, social and spiritual well-being and empowers the development of personal passion and aspiration. Within this I aim to work in a way which enables co-operation between individuals and groups in pursuit of aims common or complimentary to the above.
Training, qualifications & experience
BSc Hons (Open).
MA Humanistic/Person-Centred Psychotherapy.
Post Graduate Certificate in Continuing Education.
Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
![UKCP](/includes/counselling-directory.org.uk/images/logos/logo_5.png)
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
![BACP](/includes/counselling-directory.org.uk/images/logos/logo_2.png)
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.
