About me
Hi, my name is Mim (she/her). I am a Person-Centred Psychotherapist and Counsellor with a creative, deeply empathetic and integrative approach to helping people develop self-awareness and make real, lasting change.
Life can be pretty messy, and this can be uncomfortable for a number of reasons. At times, it can be really helpful to have someone alongside us to help look at and unpack some of that mess; someone to support us in making sense of things or lean into acceptance; supporting us in putting things in place to facilitate change. My practice is about creating a safe space with individuals to do just that. There's opportunity for clients to explore the impact of difficulties such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, parenthood, baby loss and bereavement, violence, separation, inequality, adverse childhood experience, emotional, sexual, and physical abuse on their lives and to find ways not just to survive, but thrive.
Using Integrative, Person-Centred, Trauma-Informed approaches, I support my clients to make empowered choices for themselves. I incorporate therapeutic models such as Compassion Focused, Humanistic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment Theory – tailoring the way I work to match the needs of the human in front of me. I'm passionate about having an aliveness to the importance of seeing the world out of the client’s window, not just my own :) My practice is LGBTQ+ affirmative.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully qualified, BACP registered, Psychotherapist and Counsellor, offering one-to-one therapy for adults.
I have worked within the women’s sector for over 8 years, supporting individuals of social and economic disadvantage in a number of settings. Outside of running my private practice I have also previously worked as Lead Counsellor for an organisation supporting survivors of sexual and domestic violence. My clinical experience includes short, mid-term and long-term counselling and psychotherapy for unplanned pregnancy, pregnancy complications, pregnancy loss and post-abortion concerns; supporting people on probation who are seeking mental health support; journeying with adults experiencing family-based conflicts, domestic abuse and family related issues; helping those who have experienced sexual violence and exploitation.
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.
