About me
I'm grateful to my clients who have trusted me to support them through a wide range of mental health needs. It's not always easy to trust, especially when life becomes challenging. I strive to build a positive therapeutic relationship with clients, where they can feel safe, unjudged and accepted.
Previous clients have used this space to work with bereavement, anxiety, depression, food aversion, environmental sensitivities, neurodiversity, bullying, change in circumstances, relationship dynamics and many other areas.
I aim to tailor the counselling experience to each individual client. This might mean taking a Person-centred approach, offering acceptance and validation along with a safe space to process and explore difficult thoughts and feelings, often, new insights into old behaviours can be uncovered and understood in a deeper sense. Alternatively, a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy approach can help us tackle concerns head-on, collaborating together to set manageable goals in the here and now, acknowledging areas for growth and self-care.
With your input, we can work together to explore what feels right for you and the best balance of approach.
Training, qualifications & experience
With core training in Person-centred therapy, I ensure that clients feel heard, valued, and understood. I work interactively, drawing from training in Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), to tailor my approach to each person’s unique needs. Whether it’s employing mindfulness practices, evidence-based CBT techniques, or other therapeutic methods.
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.
