About me
Psychotherapy is the chance to explore aspects of your life and relationships, a place to look at yourself and consider thoughts and feelings. You may have a specific problem, or maybe an issue which isn't fixable but needs space.
I offer Psychotherapy and Counselling in a conversational style to help you to look at difficulties. I introduce ideas and theories that can help make sense of things.
Practice description
I work with adults, couples and families of all ages and have practiced for 15 years as a Psychotherapist. I am an integrative practitioner and am experienced in approaching each client individually. This includes drawing on CBT, Gestalt, Existential theory and Imagery technique.
I have a particular interest working with adopters and family issues.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am qualified to MSc level in Psychotherapy and have practiced in the psychotherapeutic and counselling field for 17 years; I am trained to work with individuals, couples and groups. I have also taught and supervised psychotherapy practitioners.
MSc in Integrative Psychotherapy (2006 – 2011)
Post Graduate Diploma in Psychotherapy (2004 – 2009)
Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling (2004 – 2008)
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.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
