About me
Child, adolescent and family therapy in West London.
Online, telephone or in-person sessions.
I’m a psychotherapist qualified to work with children, young people and their parents. I specialise in supporting families and work with children and young people aged between 4 and 24 years who are experiencing social, emotional or behavioural difficulties. I also work with parents individually and can offer support or consultation sessions to help navigate the often complex world of mental health services.
I work with a wide range of issues from mild difficulties which may simply require some advice or short-term support, to more complex problems which need a more open-ended therapeutic approach.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have over 20 years of experience working with children, first as a secondary school teacher and more recently in a therapeutic capacity in a primary school, an NHS CAMHS clinic and in private practice.
My training and experience allows me to work in an integrative way which means I offer counselling based on psychodynamic, systemic or attachment principles. My work is also informed by other evidence-based treatments such as mindfulness and CBT.
Qualifications:
- MA, Psychological Therapies with Children, Adolescents and Families (distinction), Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust.
- Postgraduate Certificate, Child, Adolescent and Family Mental Wellbeing, Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust.
- Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Children in Schools, Place2Be.
- Postgraduate Certificate in Education, Bath University.
- BA (Hons), French with German, Durham University.
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.
