About us
I hope you’ve found the right place for you. It’s likely you’ve been a long time of searching. As the Director of Serenity I both manage and run the organisation Nationwide, but also reserve a significant portion of time to working specifically with those who are looking for therapy for long term & chronic health conditions. Particularly therapy for ME patients (Myalgic Encephalemyelitis), therapy for Chronic Fatigue patients, and other autoimmune disorder patients.
I have been working and researching this field for the last 10 years after having a family member become housebound with ME. Having conducted several research projects on the experience of Chronic Health patients and their experience of mental health support, I endeavour to provide a inclusive and flexible, person centred approach to supporting individuals manage and deal with the trauma and loss associated with such conditions.
All sessions are a combination of Online and where necessary, open google docs where you can answer explore work at a time that is suitable for you. Sessions are ideally once per week but, I am happy to work with your recovery time to make the experience as unintrusive on your symptoms as possible.
I would like to state at this point that I do not use CBT therapy in my approach and work in a holistic, person centred way that integrates all aspects of your wellbeing, including your physical symptoms as a contributing factor to your trauma and mental distress.
Training, qualifications & experience
All of our therapists are members of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). We are all professionally insured and are bound by the BACP code of ethics to provide you with an elite and supportive service.
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.
