About me
What can I help with ?
I work with indviduals and Couples
I am a specialist in how you manage your relationships with other people.
This is because how we chose to respond to our life experiences determine the quality of our relationships and how centred we feel everyday. I explore the impact this has on your life and whether this is a helpful way of living for you.
My training helps you untangle those feelings and clarify your perceptions, allowing you to prioritise; to connect or even re-connect with the things that really matter to you. This new knowledge about yourself leads to a more free you, allowing you to choose your response to life instead of having to react to incoming issues and situations.
How I work
I am an Integrated therapist which means that I consider clients from both a Cognitive behavioural and Existential lens. This means that I help you understand your behaviour from your automatic thought perspective and from an exploration of your own self -narrative. This use of different disciplines help you become comfortable to be whom you wish to be and not who you think you should be.
In couples counselling I explore the dynamics of your relationship to help you both see what is going on between you. This new perspective allows each person in the couples to see if they are meeting the needs of their partner and if not why not . This highlights the reasons for the unmet needs which are driving the relationship breakdown and gives each partner the choice on whether they wish to fix it or not.
I provide help with separation and help you face the anxiety that comes from such changes.
Please email me with what has brought you to therapy and let me know when the best time is for me to call you back.
I will call you back as soon as I can. We will arrange for a complimentary 20 minute telephone call to see if I can help you and whether you feel that working with me is right for you. We can then arrange any next steps.
Training, qualifications & experience
- I am a qualified and registered counsellor and member of the BACP. I abide by their ethical framework and practice inline with their Code of Conduct.
I have trained as an Integrated Psychotherapist. I integrate existential therapy which considers the need for personal choices with Cognitive behavioural therapy which considers what beliefs and values may underpin our thinking .
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.
