About me
I am a fully qualified, experienced counsellor and psychotherapist, working with adults from all backgrounds and life experiences.
I believe talk therapy provides a powerful, reflective space created between two people. In this space, all aspects of life can be thought about and explored safely- even the most difficult experiences, thoughts and feelings.
I am trained in psychodynamic thinking, which means I have a special interest in how the unconscious affects us in everyday life and how early life experiences can impact on us as adults. However, there is no expectation to talk about your past if this is something you are not currently interested in. Counselling should be as individual as you are. I will support you to work through what feels important at the time.
There are many reasons why people seek therapy. Sometimes they seek help due to distress and overwhelming thoughts or feelings; other times simply from a position of curiosity. Whatever the reason, I will seek to build a relationship with you that is open and trustworthy, so I can best understand you and support you to understand yourself better.
If you are not sure if counselling is right for you at the moment, or whether I could help, please get in touch and I will be happy to make a time to talk it through with you. I will never try and persuade you to have counselling or psychotherapy.
Training, qualifications & experience
For over 20 years, I have worked in a range of roles alongside people from many different backgrounds, to help them improve their lives. I have studied psychology, education, coaching, leadership and management, and trained as a psychodynamic therapist.
I have a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy.
I also have completed training in trauma informed practice, suicide prevention, working with survivors of childhood abuse, care leavers and those living with complex trauma.
I have experience of working with people with the gift of neurodiversity.
I am a member of the BACP and work within their ethical framework.
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.
