About me

I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor and a registered member MBACP of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP.) Using my training within an integrative approach means that I am able to tailor my approach to best suit your needs. This includes using Person centred, Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioural therapy (CBT.) 

I can offer you a safe, confidential and non-judgemental,space where together we can explore anything that may be troubling you. Life’s challenges can be explored within a supportive and calm environment. As a member of the BACP I commit to working within their ethical framework.

Training, qualifications & experience

I have a vast amount of experience working with children and adults in a variety of settings. This includes supporting adults with mental health problems, learning disabilities, autism and limited verbal skills. I have a Level 7 Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling and work within an Integrative approach. I use several theories where appropriate because I believe that we are all unique individuals. Therefore more than one theory can best suit someone when guiding them within the therapeutic process to achieving change or to better understanding themselves.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

Key details

DBS check

In England and Wales, the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS, formerly known as CRB) carry out criminal records checks for individuals working with vulnerable groups, such as children. To find out more, visit gov.uk , or contact this professional directly

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
