About me
I am an experienced integrative pyschotherapist and can help with many aspects of life; Anxiety, stress, bereavement, and family issues I offer long and short term therapy.
I work in a confidential, safe space where we can explore together where you are at the moment and where you would like to be.
I have experience in helping adults with many difficult aspects of life - these include: anxiety, bereavement and loss, depression, relationships, stress and many other challenging issues.
Everyone is unique so I bring a flexible approach to our sessions, whether that is on a short or long term basis. I welcome diversity and have a special interest in dyslexia and its effects on life.
Why not email me to set up an initial no charge phone consultation.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained at the Minster Centre. I have an MA in Integrative Psychotherapy and a Diploma in Integrative Counselling. In addition to my private practice I have worked as one of the counsellors at Wandworth Bereavement Center and have experience working with bereavement. As a accredited member of UKCP and registered member of the BACP I comply with their ethical framework. I am fully insured. All personal data is stored confidentially and safely.
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.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
