About me

HOW COUNSELLING CAN HELP

You may be experiencing feelings which are leaving you distressed and confused. You may be feeling anxious or alone, unsure of where to turn or who can be there besides you. Coming for counselling may initially feel daunting, however it is a courageous step forward in enabling a time of self reflection.

I am a relational integrative therapist working in private practice, and aim to provide you with a safe and confidential space, where you can think and talk about the way you are feeling, and where together we can explore your difficulties. I offer both time limited as well as longer, open-ended sessions, depending on what we feel would be most useful and appropriate for you. It is important that you feel that the space I offer is a space where you can speak openly and freely, and that the warmth, empathy and non-judgemental space will enable you to feel listened to in a unique way where you feel able to express your emotions, empowering you to understand any negative feelings you may be experiencing. Through our work together I hope to support you in gaining an enhanced understanding about yourself and what is going on for you, leading you to be able to develop inner resources and feelings of self-worth, activating your self-belief and reliance on your own judgements.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM SESSIONS

The first couple of sessions present as an initial consultation which provide the opportunity for you to start to talk about what has brought you to counselling, for us to talk about the therapy process, and for you to get a sense of the way in which I work, allowing you to see how you find it and if you feel comfortable embarking on therapy with me.

THE WAY IN WHICH I WORK


My standard way of working is that sessions are held face to face. In the event of a situation where circumstances exist beyond my control thus preventing you from attending in person, such as a pandemic, sessions will take place remotely and the method of remote communication will be agreed upon at that time. The therapy process includes periodic reviews to see how you are finding the therapy and to ascertain whether we are progressing towards the desired outcome. Therapy does not stop abruptly, rather it usually ends at a mutually agreed point allowing us the opportunity to work together towards a planned ending. However, if at any point you feel you would like to stop the therapy, it is recommended to discuss this together in advance and then we will be able to work towards an agreed ending date.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am qualified as a counsellor with an Advanced Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling, a recognised British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ( BACP) qualification.

I am an Individual Registered member of the BACP and abide by their Ethical Framework for Good Practice. I have several years of specialist experience working with grief, loss and bereavement.

In addition to private counselling, I also work for an organization supporting women experiencing perinatal challenges and postpartum depression and anxiety.  I have volunteered at two different London charitable organisations - for grief, bereavement, loss and relational issues.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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.
