About me

I am a qualified psychodynamic counsellor and Member of the BACP.

Psychodynamic counselling helps you understand how your current feelings and behaviour are shaped by your past experiences and your unconscious mind and impulses.

This approach helps you get to the root of a problem and create longer lasting change.  It pays attention to things in our unconscious that may be keeping us stuck. The work of psychodynamic counselling helps you look at those patterns – bring them to the surface and understand them.

Psychodynamic counselling can help with many different problems including anxiety, depression, grief and loss. Sometimes you might not have a name for it – but just a sense that things are not quite right, that you feel isolated or unfulfilled. 

I offer an initial 30 minute session at no charge.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a Member of the BACP and hold a Post Graduate Diploma in Human Relations and Counselling (RGU).

Alongside my counselling work, I have long experience of working with people and the challenges they experience in working life. 

I have a Masters in People and Organisational Development and Post Graduate Certificate in Executive Coaching.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
