About me
I am a fully trained integrative counsellor, which means I have a broad toolkit of therapeutic support to work from. I offer both traditional face to face talking therapy, online therapy and phone consultations. Fundamentally, I believe in the power of simply listening to your story, your challenge, your dream and helping you achieve and move through your area of need. My core model of working comes from both a psychodynamic and humanistic perspective. This simply means in order to understand why we are the way we are now, I believe, we must look at our past self to then move into healing our present self.

Training, qualifications & experience
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to their ethical framework. I attend regular supervision to support my work.
I have a Diploma in Integrative Counselling awarded by Spurgeon's College in London and during this time worked with vulnerable young adults and children at YMCA and Place2Be. I also have a B. A Honours Degree in Graphic Design from The University of Creative Arts which enabled me to build upon my creativity in supporting good mental health.
As an integrative counsellor I am trained in Person-Centred counselling, Transactional Analysis, and Psychodynamic theory. Therefore, I use a range of tools such as talking, art, play and eco therapy to help support your mental health journey.
My service provides a safe space for young people, parents and caring professionals to be supported so that they can begin to thrive. For the last 10 years, I have worked with vulnerable young adults, children and their families through a variety of capacities. I have worked as a school counsellor, DSL (Designated Safeguarding Lead ) a carer for young adults with special needs, a TA for autistic children and a mentor for teenagers, young adults and their parents through my local church.
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.
