About me
I am an experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist with a warm, straightforward style who has many years experience working with both long and short-term clients who are experiencing issues including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem or grief.
I work with individuals from all walks of life and from all backgrounds who want to know more about why they are experiencing difficulties with their mental health.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am registered with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) which is the main professional body that regulates counselling in the UK and have many years experience working with people who are experiencing either depression and/or anxiety as well as those who are bereaved.
In addition I attend regular Supervision in line with the BACPs ethical framework.
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.
