About me
I am an experienced and highly qualified MBACP counsellor, having practiced for 16 years. Worked for RELATE, a national counselling organisation as a couples/individual therapist, children and young person's counsellor and family therapist. Trained as a supervisor in 2018 and worked in the IAPT service within the NHS.
As an experienced and professional therapist, working for charities and in the private sector, my career stems from working with clients, from five years to ninety years old, in a variety of settings.
In my private practice, working with short or long term clients, helping people to explore and understand their current difficulties, supporting clients in finding a more helpful way forward. The client lead sessions are individually tailoring using an integrative approach to meet the client's specific needs. My main training is in Psychodynamic and System therapy, Person Centred approach with some Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, coaching and Mindfulness techniques.

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.
