About me
There are times in life when things can feel difficult or overwhelming, no matter how strong we believe ourselves to be. You may be facing challenges that you are very aware of—perhaps something recent or something rooted in your past—or you may simply have a sense that something isn’t quite right.
Many people feel comfortable visiting their GP to discuss physical health concerns, going to the gym, or working with a personal trainer to strengthen their bodies. In the same way, I believe our mental health deserves the same care and attention. Everyone should have the opportunity to feel heard, to explore the challenges they are facing, and to make meaningful changes that can enhance their wellbeing and quality of life.
I offer both short-term and long-term therapy for adults in Medway, Kent. I work in a flexible way to suit your needs, with sessions available weekly or fortnightly. If you would like to find out more or arrange an initial session, please feel free to get in touch.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified counsellor having completed an Integrative Counselling Diploma (BACP Accredited course). I am also trained in telephone and online counselling.
I hold an Enhanced DBS Certificate.
I have experience in working with survivors of childhood sexual abuse, incest and rape as well as working with adolescents and adults on more general concerns such as anxiety, self-esteem and relationship issues.
I also attend regular training and CPD events to broaden my knowledge across many fields.
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.
