About me
"My counselling approach is informed by two theories which blend together to explore, who you are and how you exist"
Humanistic- this theory believes we must seek our own answers and solutions to live our best lives. A life that provides meaning, purpose and growth. Uncovering those answers is where counselling comes in.
Existential- this theory seeks to explore how we choose to see the world and exist within it; our values, morals, beliefs and choices. Counselling can allow you to explore if any of the principles you hold, or the choices you make, are preventing you from living the life you want to live.
I support the evidence that being active particularly in nature, eating well and having a good sleep routine enables us to live well and weather the storms that life can throw at us.
I enjoy working with individuals who follow belief-based approaches to life whether that is religiously informed or universal, spiritual or nature based beliefs.
I have a personal and professional interest in how animals can provide us with mental health support. I am interested in energy healing, reiki, meditation and breath work practices. I am also a Certified Crystal Healing Practitioner and reiki practitioner..
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.
I am able to offer individual counselling sessions to adults in person (Face to Face) by telephone, video or email (UK residing).
I am a Registered Member (MBACP 375885) of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I have experience of working with a range of mental health difficulties within different settings from national charities like Mind, as well as Employee Assistance Programmes (EAP). I work with individuals from all over the UK.
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.
