About me
I know how it feels to lose trust in your own inner voice, and I believe passionately that Person-Centred Counselling can be a powerful support to gain back that trust. Perhaps you struggle to make sense of the way you were parented. Perhaps you have experienced an abusive or toxic relationship, or a major life event that felt like it pulled the rug from under you. Perhaps there are a combination of factors that bring you to consider counselling.
My particular area of interest is Narcissistic Abuse, which might be abuse from a parent, partner, sibling or other person who you might identify as having strong narcissistic traits.
I have training and lived experience with neurodivergence, and provide a safe and understanding space. I am working towards accreditation as a GSRD positive therapist.
I offer a free consultation, as I understand that you need to find the right fit for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, and am an Accredited member of BACP.
I have training in, and personal experience of Neurodivergence, and am happy to discuss any reasonable adjustments that you may need to get the most from your counselling.
I am working towards accreditation as a pink therapist.
I am fluent in British Sign Language.
Many of my clients have experienced situations of abuse, either as adults or children. I work with a number of domestic abuse agencies, and have a particular understanding of Narcissistic Abuse.
I am trained to counsel online and by telephone as well as face to face.
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.
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.
