About me
Hello. My name is Stephanie, and I'm a UKCP registered psychotherapist, offering relational psychotherapy (as well as CBT/REBT) to individuals either in person or online. I am interested in people. In each person’s unique complexity. In you. If you are reading this then you may already have taken the first step on your therapeutic journey; the decision to explore, and to seek the right person to share this work with you. Whether you come to me for longer term psychotherapy, shorter term work, or for CBT/REBT, my initial aim will always be the same; to create a warm, secure, boundaried space in which we can build our therapeutic relationship. A space where you feel able to share what is on your mind.
I am interested in you as a unique individual and in your connection to the world on an emotional, physical and spiritual level and in how you may experience feelings energetically, in your body. Whatever you bring, we can explore it together and find ways to understand and make meaning from your experiences.
A step on the path, an unlocking of the potential of your own flowering as an individual. If you like reading, music, films or paintings, I have found that working with imagery and metaphor can be a useful (and fun) part of the process. I also like working with dreams, visualisations, Inner Child work and compassion-focused work.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Diploma and Masters degree in Humanistic and Integrative psychotherapy and am registered with UKCP as a full clinical member.
I also hold a Diploma and Advanced Diploma in CBT/REBT from the College of Cognitive Behavioural Therapies in London, which I practise within the framework of my primary psychotherapy training as part of my integration.
I am in my eleventh year of working with individuals as a psychotherapist in private practice, with an additional two years in voluntary settings (a non 12 step approach to addictions, & also for Anxiety UK).
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.

Additional information
I offer ten percent of my client availability at a slightly reduced fee. Currently, all of these spaces are filled and I do not keep a waiting list. I prefer fees to be paid weekly, or monthly in advance. This would be discussed at the beginning of our work together.
Further information
During our time together we'll explore what has brought you to therapy, and look to both address your presenting issues whilst investigating how your responses to early life experiences may have set up patterns of relating to yourself, the world and others. These patterns of relating may have been important to your survival in childhood but in adulthood may be inhibiting your growth and potential.
