Training, qualifications & experience
With experience working within mental health charities, I've supported adults through a wide range of challenges, including overwhelm, burnout, anxiety, depression, trauma, bereavement, low self-esteem, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, abuse, rape and sexual violence.
Many of the people I work with feel exhausted from carrying so much for so long. They may be struggling to switch off, feeling overwhelmed by responsibility, or finding it difficult to prioritise themselves without guilt. From the outside, they often appear to be coping well. Inside, however, they may feel anxious, stuck, disconnected, or emotionally drained.
I offer calm, compassionate support and a space where you don't have to keep everything together. Together, we can explore what's weighing on you, make sense of your experiences, and help you reconnect with your own needs, feelings and sense of self.
As an integrative counsellor working from a person-centred foundation, I tailor therapy to you as an individual. I won't tell you what to do or push you in a direction that doesn't feel right. Instead, I'll walk alongside you, supporting you to better understand yourself and move towards the changes that feel meaningful to you.
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.
