About me
I am an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, which means that I combine ideas and techniques from a number of psychotherapeutic models. At the core of my model is the relationship between the client and the therapist – you and I. In my experience, the relationship proves to be the single most important factor to a successful outcome, and research confirms this. I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment with space and time to fully explore your choices, opportunities, issues, fears and difficulties, working together to achieve your goals.
My working model includes CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), EMDR, TF CBT (Trauma Focussed CBT) and my specialisms include Trauma, Addiction, Mental Health, including anxiety, and Relationships, including self-worth and self value issues, working with individuals, couples and families.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a MSc in Integrative Psychotherapy and I have been working in this field for over 20 years. I also hold a Diploma in Group and Individual Supervision and a Certificate in Group work.
I qualified as an EMDR therapist and am working towards my accreditation.
I continue to be committed to a regular programme of continued professional development to increase my skills and knowledge. I undertake a minimum of 30 hours of additional Continuous Professional Development (CPD) annually to keep updated on the latest research results as well as new information in the field and current topics.
I am an accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), and previously the Federation of Drug and Alcohol Professionals (FDAP).
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.
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 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.
