About me
The world can be a difficult place. Sometimes, life can feel pointless. I offer an open space where you can explore yourself and your life without blame or judgement. I’m a psychosynthesis practitioner. It’s a perspective that sees life struggles, however painful, as opportunities to grow beyond what is holding you back.
For all our different approaches, counsellors are united in the belief that two people talking openly and honestly together, can find clarity, assurance and encouragement. It's not always an easy conversation and it's rarely a quick one. It's not cheap either. I charge between £60 and £80 for a session lasting an hour. You may bring a specific problem or just a general feeling. Either is good. The journey starts from where you are. We’ll explore who you are, what you want and what stands in your way. Where I bring empathy and understanding, I can also bring challenge and I’ll be right alongside you, all the way.
To find out if we 'feel right' for each other, I offer a free exploratory meeting on Zoom, with no obligation to continue.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained at the Psychosynthesis Education Trust where I gained a Post-Graduate Diploma in psychosynthesis counselling. I followed this up with a level 7 advanced diploma in psychosynthesis psychotherapy.
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.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
