About me
I’m a Registered BACP Accredited Counsellor, working with Individuals and Couples. People that I work with often have difficulties in Relationships, Low Self-esteem, Depression, Abuse, Bereavement and Losses, particularly issues arising from childhood.
I offer a compassionate and confidential therapeutic relationship to help you overcome a wide range of problems.
I've been a Counsellor since 1999 and have worked remotely since 2000.
Individuals come for counselling because they want to overcome barriers to moving forward in their lives.
Couples come for counselling when they want to improve their understanding of their relationship; how they can transform how they are both with themselves and with their partner and how together they can form a more satisfying relationship.
My aim is to help you gain (or regain) ways and means to be happy and fulfilled as you go forward in Life, managing your current and any future worries and problems that may occur.
Please contact me if you think I can help.
Training, qualifications & experience
In 1998 I began my career in Counselling, gaining a Certificate and then a Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling in 2002; then a Certificate in Time Limited Therapy, and a Certificate in Couple Counselling.
I’m a Registered BACP Accredited Counsellor/ Psychotherapist working with Individuals and Couples.
I have a current DBS check (formerly known as a CRB check) at the Enhanced level to work with Adults and Children.
I adhere to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy's "Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy".
Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
