About me
Hello, I'm Tray, I am a qualified & experienced therapist dedicated to supporting people in navigating life's challenges & moving towards achieving meaningful personal growth. I work in the person-centred approach, where you lead the way, and I am with you on your journey.
Over several years my work spans a diverse range of areas including anxiety, depression, long-term conditions, addiction, stress, trauma, familial & parental estrangement, bereavement & work around personal boundaries.
I am experienced in working with domestic/relationship abuse, & supporting neurodivergent clients (and those exploring potential symptoms).
Training, qualifications & experience
I have been in practice 3 years, face-to-face & online within the IAPT/ NHS Talking Therapies model. I have achieved a BA (Hons) in Psychotherapy (first class) & an HND in Social Science both from the University of Warwick.
I am experienced in relationship/ family issues, which has included work around coercion, abuse, control, boundaries, communication issues & cultural difficulties. I have worked with clients who have left abusive relationships & families, helping them to unlearn patterns & behaviours, & thrive in rebuilding their new lives.
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.
