About me
We often try to manage things on our own, but there can come a point when it feels important to reach out for support.
Perhaps you are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unable to switch off your thoughts. Maybe you are experiencing sadness, hopelessness, low self-esteem, or carrying painful memories from the past. Or perhaps you and your partner are struggling with difficulties in your relationship.
Whatever you are feeling, you are not alone.
I am a qualified counsellor and accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), with extensive experience of supporting people with anxiety, depression, panic attacks, low self-esteem, childhood trauma and relationship difficulties.
I am an integrative counsellor, which means that I draw upon a range of therapeutic approaches, enabling me to tailor the therapy to your individual needs. My approach is warm, grounded and collaborative, and I work at a pace that feels right for you.
If you've never had counselling before then finding the right therapist can feel confusing or intimidating, so I am happy to offer a free 20-minute phone or video consultation where you can tell me a little about what's bringing you to counselling, and get a sense of whether I feel like the right therapist for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor with additional post qualification training and experience in cognitive behavioural therapy, couples counselling and working with trauma.
As well as working in private practice I work with Phoenix Therapy Practice in Brighton & Hove.
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.
