About me
I work with what you bring to the counselling session, I won’t ask you to talk about anything that you don’t wish to discuss. I have a positive view of human nature. I believe that we are all doing the best we can, in the circumstances we face. I believe we all have within us what we need to live our best lives, but sometimes we get stuck and need support to find our way forward. This is where Counselling can help.
I offer a safe, non-judgemental space to explore and understand your feelings and experiences. My hope is that you will find me warm, empathic and authentic. I will ask questions to clarify my understanding of your experience and to help you get in touch with your feelings, even the most uncomfortable ones. Through this, I will help you find your own inner resources to enable you to deal more effectively with whatever is troubling you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold an Honours Degree in Person Centred Counselling from Middlesex University, London; a Diploma in Person Centred Counselling from the Metanoia Institute, London; and a Bachelor of Arts with a major in Psychology from Macquarie University, Sydney.
I am an Accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (registration 386514) and adhere to their Ethical Framework. This includes keeping my skills fresh through a programme of continuing professional development and courses.
In addition to my private practice, I work at a local low-cost counselling service supporting clients a range of issues, including depression, anxiety and the search for a better understanding of themselves. In the past I have also worked with a London based agency specialising in supporting people who have experienced all types of domestic abuse
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
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.
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.
