About me
It’s not easy to acknowledge that we need help, making the first contact with a counsellor is a huge step. It can be scary and you may be full with anxiety right now but if you are already reading this then you know it is a step you need to make.
I offer a confidential, safe and non-judgemental environment that allows you to explore what has brought you to counselling.
When we first meet we will be able to discuss what has brought you here and what are the challenges you wish to overcome in counselling. As a team we will come up with a plan that will support your choices and moving forward.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have BA Degree in Integrated Counselling and Psychotherapy which allows me to work as a counsellor and a psychotherapist. I also have a MSc in Psychological Science which provides another outlook on psychological approaches.
I am a Registered Individual Member of British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and hold a Certificate of Proficiency (CoP) with them.
I have a wide range of experience working with different issues such as anxiety, depression, self worth, relationship issues, bereavement, sexual abuse, loss, trauma, addiction and more. Whatever difficulty you are facing in your life, I feel confident that I can offer you a safe and supportive relationship, within which we can help you work toward a more positive future.
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.
