About me
I offer one to one and couples therapy either face to face or online, to folk who want to explore their lives in depth in order to find more joy and hope in this confusing world of ours. Led by you, we will look at present circumstances in the light of anything you feel is important. This will often include looking at the past, as it can have more impact than expected and once understood it can lead to new ways of responding to unwanted emotional responses. From this new perspective I hope you will be able to find more satisfying ways forward.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have been practising counselling most of my adult life, beginning as a rape crisis counsellor whilst living in the USA and finally qualifying as an existential psychotherapist in 2008.
I have worked with individuals from 6 to 76 years of age and particularly enjoy working with couples.
My present focus is predominantly around all aspect of relationship, without which we cease to be fully human.
Member organisations
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.
