About me
A very warm welcome to my page. You may be considering seeking some support with the challenges you have in your life at the moment, and my hope is that I can help you. I know it can seem quite a daunting step, but I will strive to support you through this process.
I know life can become chaotic and we can feel out of control trying to hold everything together for a variety of reasons. Leading lives where we are trying to be so many things at once, and trying to perfect them all, can become overwhelming. We can feel isolated and lonely believing no-one understands us when all we really crave is a space to be heard, and really listened to. I can provide that space and be with you every step of the way as you explore your challenges. We can work together to tap into the tools you naturally have available to manage and cope with life and situations that arise.
I do this by offering a client-centred approach based on respect, empathy and honesty. I will support you in exploring your reasons for seeking therapy, within a non-judgemental environment. By creating a safe, open and genuine relationship with you, we can together find ways to deal with the difficulties you are experiencing. In doing so this can help you develop the tools to find clarity and become more confident, empowered and self-fulfilled when dealing with life's challenges.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have been working in the field of mental health wellbeing for the past eight years and currently have my own private practice in Lady Bay, West Bridgford, Nottingham. I previously volunteered at Nottingham Counselling Service providing support for adults presenting with a range of challenges, and also at ChildLine providing support to young people.
I hold a First Class BSc Hons degree in Humanistic and Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy gained at the highly respected Sherwood Institute in Nottingham which is fully accredited by the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Further details of this course can be accessed at www.spti.net
I continually build on my knowledge and experience through Continued Professional Development attending workshops and webinars, as well as professional and peer supervision and reading a variety of relevant books, magazines and articles.
I am an accredited member of the BACP and adhere to their ethical framework, details of which can be accessed at www.bacp.co.uk
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.
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.
