About me
As a Senior Accredited Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor, I have worked with hundreds of individuals and groups as a therapist since 2010, supporting a vast array of life circumstances and emotions that prevent people from leading their lives in the happiest and fullest way possible.
There are four key areas that therapy sessions can support you with, these are:
- Difficult emotions - whether you’re struggling with low self-esteem, feeling angry, or confused about things that have happened or are happening in your life.
- Mental or physical health challenges - including depression, anxiety or upsetting health conditions/diagnoses.
- Upsetting life events - for example, bereavement, relationship breakdown or work-related stresses.
- Building self-awareness/identity - this can include exploring challenges around gender or sexual identity, along with other changes in life that lead you to question who you are or what you want from life.
Training, qualifications & experience
As a Fellow of the Royal Society for Public Health, I hold a range of professional accreditations including as a Senior Accredited Psychotherapist with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and Accreditation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
My academic background has led me to study a British Psychological Society Accredited Masters Degree in Mental Health and Wellbeing, alongside holding a BA (Hons) Degree in Counselling & Psychotherapy. As part of my ongoing professional development, I regularly enhance my clinical skills through the study of additional short courses and CPD workshops. Some of these have included:
- Post-Qualifying Certificate in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
- Post-Qualifying Certificate in Counselling Children & Young People
- Cruse National Certificate in Bereavement Care
- Victim Support National Certificate in Supporting Victims of Crime
- Relate Approved Certificate in Counselling Online
- Barnardo’s Accredited Adoption Counselling Practitioner Certificate
Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society
This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations.
In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
