About me
Hi there, you’ve made it to my listing- welcome! You are well on your way to finding help.
You might be looking to resolve a difficulty, to find your path out of a challenge, to survive through stress, to thrive again, to build relationships, and to nurture your emotional health and fitness.
I am a qualified, experienced therapist with degrees in Psychology and Counselling.
I am especially interested in working with young people, ASD, ADHD, OCD, phobias & Trauma.
However, my main interest is people, and each individual presents their unique personality brand, beyond the labels or issues they bring with them.
I won’t be judging you or telling you what to do- that’s what you went to school for! Instead, I will work with you to find your strengths, understand what stands in your way and brainstorm ideas to overcome blocks.
Nothing thrills me more than a client who makes progress and feels better.
You’ll have my support throughout- including contact between appointments, as needed.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a B.Sc. in Psychology and Counselling, and a PGDip in Applied Psychology (Therapies), both from the University of Salford, as well as an MA in Counselling from the University of Manchester.
I am an Accredited Member of the BACP.
My approach is integrative and draws on a range of models, including Person-Centred Therapy, Compassionate Mind Approach and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
I have specialist training and experience in working with people affected by sexual abuse.
I have experience and understanding of working with people with Autism Spectrum Disorder and helping develop skills in social communication and emotion regulation.
I also have experience in working with people suffering with depression, anxiety, employment and relationship difficulties and learning difficulties.
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.
