About me
Looking for a therapist and reading what feels right for you can’t be easy, especially when you’re already struggling. So, thank you for stopping to read about me and how I work.
I find more satisfaction in the privilege of being with my clients than maintaining social media platforms, and a confidential, empathetic and kind space can be found with me, where I hear you.
I’ve been in clinical practice for over ten years, and exploring your inner world and how your past experiences and relationships are continuing to influence your current life will be part of our work together. We will look at the patterns you are caught up in and how this might be playing out with others, and we will find meaning with the YOU part, as this may have got lost along the way
As a certified Trauma-Informed Therapist, I can also support you with PTSD & CPTSD symptoms by using stabilisation and mindfulness techniques that promote healing. Here, we can begin to understand your triggers and make space for ‘now’, rather than ‘back then’. We also focus on all the parts of ourselves which prompt us to push, criticise, avoid, fight or please, which may often leave you confused, regretful and tired.
Maybe you've experienced a bereavement, or you may not even really know what's causing you to feel the overwhelm and loss that’s coming up, but I have extensive experience supporting neurotypical and neurodivergent clients through difficult life events, and this collaborative process can be deeply transformative.
This is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Your experience is unique, and I offer what's best for you with compassion and healing at the core. I believe in the power of therapy and have witnessed how this process can enhance life on many levels, whether in person, online, nationally, or internationally, so do get in touch, and we can go from there.
Training, qualifications & experience
My self-awareness, knowledge, and skills have developed throughout my clinical practice. I am an inclusive practitioner, fully trained and well-informed, and I respect clients' values, beliefs, cultures, and lifestyles. I regularly commit to continual professional development as there is always more to learn.
I hold an Accredited BACP membership, which demonstrates a higher standard of competence, ethics, and inclusivity. I adhere to the BACP's Ethical Framework for Good Practice and their Online and Phone Therapy (OPT) competence framework. I hold full professional indemnity and public liability insurance and have an up-to-date enhanced DBS certificate. I also have a background in the education sector, mainly in secondary school settings.
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.
