About me
I am an Integrative Counsellor, based in Coventry (West Midlands), offering 60 minute Face to Face in-person counselling sessions, or online (Zoom), to adults aged 18 or over. Telephone sessions can be considered.
All my sessions are client led (which means you are in charge of what you talk about, and the areas we explore together), in a warm and friendly atmosphere, and because I work Integratively I will tailor sessions to meet your needs as an individual.
Where appropriate I enjoy working creatively with clients, such as using art, tactile objects, fairytale work, or therapy cards to help a client to focus more deeply in sessions.
I have experience in working with clients from many different life situations and diverse backgrounds, including clients who have suffered emotional trauma; are struggling with feelings of shame; who are impacted by a loved-one’s addiction; clients with (diagnosed or undiagnosed) autism; clients living with the impact of a Narcissistic parent or life partner and clients living with depression.
Explore the benefits of counselling with me, in a relaxed, non-judgmental space, where you will always be heard and understood.
My hope for you on this journey is that you will find your way towards healing, peace and wholeness – effective and lasting change – with the right and comfortable level of professional help and support.
Training, qualifications & experience
Dip HE in Counselling at Waverley Abbey College, where I trained as an Integrative Counsellor with the Waverley Integrative Framework.
Since qualifying, I have had 3 years experience working as an Associate Counsellor for a Coventry Counselling Service (Charity).
I have had a diverse range of experience working with clients from many different background circumstances, but over time I have developed a particular interest in working with clients with diagnosed or undiagnosed autism; clients who are impacted by the addiction of a family member/partner; clients impacted by narcissistic parents/partner; clients living with deep feelings of shame; and clients living with depression.
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.
The Association of Christians in Counselling and Linked Professions (ACC) is a Christian professional membership organisation for those involved in counselling/psychotherapy and linked professions, i.e. pastoral care, coaching and spiritual direction, in the UK. The organisation is made up of various different membership categories, including Counsellor and Accredited, and requires all members working as counsellors to undertake Continuous Professional Development on a regular basis.
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.
