About me
If you’re feeling overwhelmed with anxiety, low mood, relationship struggles, or grief, I work alongside you and will help you to gently explore and understand negative core beliefs that you may have adopted over the years, leaving you feeling calmer and more resilient with a clearer and more positive outlook on life.
I am a qualified BACP Registered Integrative Counsellor which means I was trained in various modalities including Person Centred, Transactional Analysis and Gestalt; I draw on different techniques depending on the needs of my clients. These will include coping techniques for feelings of overwhelm and anxiety, helping you to understand how relationship dynamics develop, noticing patterns of behaviour as well as learning about how our state of mind can affect our body and vice versa.
The Next Step:
If you would like a consultation, please call or email. I'm happy to organise an informal chat to see if you'd like to set up an appointment, or you can book an appointment and start right away.
Training, qualifications & experience
I first started work in a supportive environment in 2011 when I started training and working with The Samaritans. The experience of working with people at crisis point, has enabled me to frame my work and provide a highly robust and considered approach.
My clients span all genders and diversities, and I work with all ages. My specialisms include:
- Adults with depression and anxiety
- Working with teenagers
- working with older age clients (from 60-85+)
- middle life issues including divorce; redundancy, retirement and financial change
- issues relating to family dynamics (currently and in earlier life)
- empty nesters and change
I have public liability insurance and attend regular continuing personal development.
- BACP Accredited Diploma in Integrative Counselling
- Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP)
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.
