A bit about me
I began my therapeutic journey as a client exploring my own healing regarding childhood trauma, relationships and identity. I was able to explore my blocks and difficulties and make sense of them whilst receiving compassion and understanding from my therapist. This experience enabled me to move forward and inspired me to offer non-judgemental experiential support to others.
I have completed Birkbeck University and The London Gestalt Centre's, Diploma in Counselling and their intensive training on group facilitation, dynamics and interventions. I have completed an international course, working with the inner child from a Gestalt perspective and several other training courses. Due to the national pandemic, I completed a certificate in online counselling.
In addition, I have over 25 years of experience working for leading National Mental Health Charities, Adolescent services, Women's counselling services, The NHS, and Drug and Alcohol services alongside developing my own private practice.
As a Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, I am highly trained and experienced in using Gestalt Therapy to support people who are experiencing problematic issues.

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.
