About me
I am a Couple and Individual Psychodynamic Counsellor with 25yrs experience. I have a degree in Psychology and a 4yr Psychodynamic Training in Couple Therapy as well as many years of continual professional development trainings. I am an accredited member of the BACP.
I have worked in the NHS, at the Tavistock Clinic in the Couples Unit and in the Gordon Hospital as an Honorary Psychotherapist. My work is psychoanalytically informed having spent 4yrs at the Institute of Psychoanalysis. I have worked for many years in Private Practice with individuals and couples and began my career as a Licensed Counsellor with Relate where CBT skills were required.
I work with couples and individuals to develop a deeper understanding of the difficulties they are struggling within a safe, confidential and supportive environment. On the whole most of us would like a meaningful and rewarding relationship with a partner. This is often difficult to achieve with the stresses of life and internal and external, conscious and unconscious pressures.
Effective couple communication requires understanding and is key to successful couple relating. I am used to working with a wide range of difficulties with couples such as trust issues, infidelity, sexual difficulty, fertility, children and family issues, depression/anxiety, addiction etc.
Further to my couple work I have many years of experience of short and deeper, long-term work with individuals. Together we address concerns such as relationships, feelings of anxiety about work or home, sexual concerns, ongoing sadness or depression, low self-esteem, issues with identity, addiction to alcohol or drugs, bereavement, trauma or feelings of anger, grief, stress or panic.
Developing a trusting, non-judgemental and confidential relationship with the individual or the couple is paramount in order to explore difficulties which hopefully leads to greater self-awareness and psychic health.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a degree in Humanities with a major in Psychology, and a Post Graduate certificate in education.
I have a 4yr Psychodynamic Training in Couple Therapy recognised by the BACP whose organisation I am member of. I have also spent 10yrs working with Relate as one of their licensed counsellors.
I have been in Private Practice for twenty years and over this period of time I have worked with many couples and individuals.
I hope to provide a safe, confidential and informative space to help people to come to a better understanding of themselves and why they are struggling. I have experience of working with anxiety, depression, panic attacks, eating disorders, OCD, stress, health issues, self harm, divorce, death, family, relationship and work struggles etc
Although my training is Psychodynamic I have also completed courses in CBT and Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, eating disorders and body dysmorphia and have attended a wide variety of further trainings. I have an interest in Jungian ideas.
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.
