About me
Hi, I'm Stephanie, and I'd like to help you experience a more fulfilling life. At the moment, there is so much emphasis and pressure on people to achieve and be productive every day, to strive towards visible high standards constantly, to the point of exhaustion. Are you highly critical of yourself? Do you find yourself unable to try new things in case you fail? Do you focus on ways to improve things about yourself that other people can see & validate - your appearance, your body shape, your job, studies and even hobbies? Do you find yourself unable to switch off and relax? Expect things of yourself that you never would of others?
I work with people aged 18+ who are hoping to find ways to manage their inner critical voice, build new coping skills & ways of approaching difficulties, and work towards feeling worthy as we are. I find a lot of my clients are neurodivergent or queer, and may have spent a lot of time trying to "fit in" - but are now wanting to be fully themselves and belong
If you would like to start learning how to manage that negative voice in your head which tells you nothing you do is good enough, please get in touch, and together we can start to look at the origins of your worries and coping mechanisms and to look forward towards a more fulfilling and self-accepting life. You deserve to feel worthy and safe.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have been a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy since 2018, and I completed a certification with the Online Therapy Institute in July 2020, in order to conduct video counselling as safely and securely as possible.
My additional studies have focused around eating disorders, with additional interest in the relationship between disordered eating and neurodivergence. I have undertaken further training in Understanding ADHD & achieved the Level 2 qualification Understanding Autism
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.
