About me
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, and if you have never been before you may be worried about what will happen. I believe that every person is unique and so each therapy session will be different, I am here to listen and offer you a safe space to explore your life and your feelings and work together to find out the best support for your individual needs.
In our first session I will introduce myself and we can have a look at what has brought you to therapy and if working together seems like a good fit. My background includes working with a wide range of issues, including trauma work, addiction, family issues, relationships, anxiety and depression and many more.
I am trained and have experience in working with those who are neurodivergent and am happy to discuss working in a way that feels comfortable for you. I am also happy to work with clients who have diagnosed personality disorders.
I can work long or short term, depending on your needs. Currently I hold all sessions online.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you have, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Training, qualifications & experience
BSc Person-centred integrative counselling
Member of BACP
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.
