About me
Welcome, I am a qualified integrative counsellor. My approach is rooted in person-centred and existential theories. I believe we are all unique beings and may find ourselves feeling stuck and not understanding why, or perhaps we do and need support to help us through, while juggling life’s many challenges.
I offer a compassionate, non-judgemental, trauma-informed space to navigate your thoughts and feelings at a pace that feels right for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified and fully insured therapist. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
- Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling w. Iron Mill College
- Understanding and Embracing Shame w. Iron Mill College
- Apprenticing to Grief w. Grief Tending in Community
- Rebuilding Sexual Intimacy Post Trauma w. Somerset Counselling Centre
- Introduction to Psychosexual Medicine w. The Institute of Psychosexual Medicine
- Cancer Survivorship MSc Module w. Sheffield Hallam University
I have over 15 years' experience working in the NHS supporting people through their cancer journey and beyond, understanding that the life-changing impact of cancer does not end once you have finished treatment, often impacting many areas of life, whether this be with your self-identity, body changes, work, family, relationships, and intimacy.
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.
