About me
Hello and thank you for choosing to read my profile. This is a scary and difficult time for many with lots of uncertainty, at the moment.
Sometimes life can become overwhelming. Giving you situations that you did not see coming or long term problems that have become to much to bear. Which can make day to day life hard to handle.
Making life more difficult than usual where we struggle to make sense of what's going on. You may even feel stuck at the moment and you may not have anybody to talk to. Counselling will offer you a confidential/safe space where you can be open about the issues that are troubling you.
There are also many types of counselling. I am trained to use the person centered approach. Which means I will walk with you through your journey to ascertain what is troubling you. It is a non-intrusive form of counselling we will take the journey together and at your pace.
Taking the first steps to ask for help can be difficult and my experience has taught me that the relationship we will build is paramount to create a positive change. To be free and honest in a non judgmental place can be empowering, a chance to unpack the mind, understanding, and repack it back up to make moving forward easier.
Taking the first step is sometimes the hardest thing to do, I speak from personal experience. Our work together is to develop a therapeutic relationship to enable you to feel supported throughout your journey.
Please feel free to ask me any questions especially if they stop you asking for the support you may need.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a CPCAB (Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body) in Therapeutic Counselling.
I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)
I have experience of working in and Emotional Wellbeing Centre working one to one with clients in addiction and survivors of domestic abuse.
I have also worked with people who have suffered brain trauma. Working with people who have survived strokes, working with Aphasia. For this particular work I am more than happy to do home visits which can be negotiated.
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.
