About me
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, stress, low self-confidence, depression and difficulties in relationships, as well as people facing bereavement, loss or loneliness.
I have a particular interest in the psychological impact of work. You may be struggling with work-related stress or perfectionism, experiencing redundancy or career uncertainty, or questioning whether the working life you have built is still the one you want.
Sometimes people come to counselling knowing exactly what is troubling them. Others simply know that something doesn't feel right: they may be successful and capable on the outside but privately feel anxious, overwhelmed, dissatisfied or stuck.
Using a psychodynamic approach, we can work together to understand not only what is happening now, but the patterns and experiences that may lie beneath it, creating the possibility of meaningful and lasting change.
I am a qualified Psychodynamic Counsellor, Occupational Psychologist and Executive Coach. I work in person from a quiet, private rural setting near Saffron Walden, Essex, as well as online.
Organisational and executive coaching is available separately, with fees on request.
Training, qualifications & experience
BSc. (Hons.) Psychology; MSc. Occupational Psychology; Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling; Professional Doctorate in Occupational Psychology. I am a full member of the British Psychological Society (FMBPsS), a registered member of the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC), and a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (MBACP).
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.
