About me
I am here to try and help you through difficult times, I bring a number of different approaches and methods to working with whoever you are and wherever you find yourself right now.
I work with you as an individual exploring the best way forward for you and the right focus for us in our work together. Building a positive, safe and open therapeutic relationship is at the heart of my work.
I understand some of the challenges that neurodiversity can present in work, relationships and friendships. I also understand some of the barriers and stigmas around mental health conditions that can impact on many areas in life. I work with many clients who may already have a diagnosis within that spectrum or who may be considering starting that journey.
I offer individual therapy either online, via telephone or in person , this can be flexible and change according to your needs.
I work on both a long term and short term basis depending on your needs and when working longer term we will reviewing the work together and assess what is best for you.
The first step is a free 30 minute chat on the phone or online with no obligation. Just a chance to talk and meet and see if you wish to work together.
If you are considering therapy please contact me via email or phone.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained at the Sherwood Psychotherapy training Institute in Nottingham gaining a BSC Hons in Counselling and Psychotherapy.
I am a registered and accredited member of the BACP
I have worked in a community counselling centre as well as in an NHS setting and now also Private Practice.
In the past I have worked in many support roles for organisations such as Mencap, Framework and Leonard Cheshire working with people with many different physical and mental support needs.
I bring this varied experience into my therapy work and try and offer a supportive and understanding space that welcomes everyone.
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.
