About me
I am an accredited therapist specializing in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. I am dedicated to helping individuals heal from trauma, anxiety, and other emotional disturbances through evidence-based techniques. EMDR has been proven to reduce the intensity of distressing memories, and I have successfully guided my clients toward recovery using this approach.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in empathy, client-cantered care, and a deep understanding of trauma and its psychological impacts. I have worked with a diverse range of clients, from those experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to individuals seeking to overcome anxiety, grief, and relationship challenges.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am an accredited member of BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychology) and the EMDR UK Association. I adhere to their Ethical Framework for good practice and also their Guidelines for Online Counselling and Psychotherapy.
I have my own private practice and work with male and female clients. I currently hold an enhanced DBS (disclosure Barring Service) certificate.
I have previously worked within the charity sector supporting clients with a range of issues such as abuse, self-harm, violence, anxiety and depression.
I regularly attended CPD (Continuous Professional Development) workshops keeping my skills relevant and up to date.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
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.
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.
