About me
I work with people of all ages and backgrounds to explore anxiety, stress and depression, trauma, bereavement and loss, unwelcome thoughts and feelings, relationship problems or simply a sense of needing some support during a difficult time.
In my experience, counselling provides a uniquely safe and confidential space in which we can focus on difficulties, come to understand their causes and think about how to better manage them. Both long-term and short-term, fixed-length arrangements are available, and I'm happy to discuss individual needs in creating a comfortable environment in which to talk.
I'm currently available for face-to-face sessions in Frome (Somerset) and telephone and online sessions internationally.
Please get in touch, either by telephone on 07958 874157 or by email via the contact form, to discuss your needs.
Training, qualifications & experience
Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling (BACP/BPC Accredited)
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.
