About me

I am an accredited BACP counsellor that has been in practice since 2010.

My approach to therapy is integrative. My main training as a therapist  has been  mostly person centred and CBT. I have a lot of experience of working with individuals and families across Herefordshire and Gloucestershire. I like to think I have an empathic and warm approach in my work and I always do my best to ensure that an environment is created to enable my  clients to grow as individuals.

Allowing my clients to grow as individuals is key in my work with them. I have done a lot of work with clients that have struggled with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and self confidence/esteem issues.

  • Accredited member of BACP.
  • Level 4 Diploma In Therapeutic Counselling.
  • Advanced Level 5 in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

Member organisations

school Registered / Accredited

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
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.

Accredited register membership
