Section 1 – Why choose psychodynamic counselling with me
I’ve a lot of clinical experience as a Psychodynamic Counsellor. This means we may look at the unconscious processes that may influence the way you are feeling. We tend not to focus on solving immediate problems, but rather we look for deeper reasons for your current distress. This way we are focussing on a long term improvement for you. However, I also appreciate that every individual is different and I hope that you may find safety in the relationship; finding the understanding that you seek while exploring your thoughts and feelings.
Psychodynamic Counselling can be viewed as different to other forms of counselling as it has been shown that over time the benefits increase, whereas in other therapies the benefits may tend to deteriorate over time for most people. Benefits are dependent on you as an individual, though others have experienced the following:
From increasing your understanding of yourself and others you may experience increased ability to be aware of and work with a wider range of emotions, and with time be able to face difficulties and issues. Many clients experience increased confidence in what they are capable of, raised self-esteem and are able to nurture more mutually beneficial relationships.
As with all undertakings, there are potential risks you can be aware of such as:
Uncomfortable or painful emotions and memories and can impact on your relationships. The cost and time commitments may impact you. Your behaviour may also change and you may experience increased feelings of depression or hopelessness.

Section 2 – My psychodynamic counselling journey, qualifications & experience
I am an eclectic professional with years of clinical experience: currently working towards a qualification as a Counselling Psychologist, already with a Diploma in Human Relations & Counselling (Psychodynamic modality) and an MA Hons Psychology degree, as well as extensive and broad working and voluntary experience over four years.
I’ve a background in Psychodynamic Counselling, with extensive experience in trauma, abuse and interpersonal relationships, but with skills applicable to most uncomfortable circumstances you may be experiencing: during the initial free consultation we both decide if the service is suitable and if we may be able to work together.
You will be working with a qualified and experienced counsellor who has a masters degree, post graduate diploma, and is currently working towards a doctoral level research thesis. The counsellor is a member of the British Psychological Society (UK), the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and Counselling & Therapy in Scotland.

Section 3 – Issues explored successfully with many clients already
Trauma & PTSD
Different circumstances can happen to us once in a lifetime or over and over in a period of time. Whether it happened in childhood or adulthood it leaves marks which can make it difficult to cope with new situations or interfere in our day to day living. It doesn't always have to be like that. Together we can explore what the difficult circumstances mean for you now.
Stress
Life throws us different curves and challenges which can lead to stress. What’s the worry? Where’s it coming from? Are you ready to address it?
Postpartum Depression
Both male and female experience changes after having a baby. This can bring up symptoms that are similar to that of depression or you might be clinically diagnosed. Together we can look at what might be going on for you.
Career Counselling
Do you feel unfulfilled in your chosen career? Perhaps exploring why you chose that path might help you to guide toward the direction you want to go.
Anxiety or Fears
Anxiety or fears are experienced by us all normally on a daily basis, however can be either a help or a hindrance. Together we can explore where that stems from.

Section 4 - Information and confidentiality policy
Information we hold
At Tangled Emotions we keep the following identifiable information to support our work:
· Personal and tracking information on a secure database
· Evaluation data
· Referral information
· General correspondence
· Case notes – brief factual summary of each session
We also make use of the following anonymised information:
· Statistics
· Process notes – counsellors on anonymised reflections

· Training assignments for students
· Audio visual data for student assessments and supervision
· Case descriptions in training delivery
· Research data
All of our information is held and stored in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulations 2018.
We have very strict guidelines about who has access to the information we hold and the steps we take to make sure that it is secure.
Clients have the right to access their case records.
The case records constitute personal and tracking information, case notes, general correspondence, completed assessment and evaluation papers and any creative materials carried out by the client.
Limitations to Confidentiality
We believe you have the right to privacy when you bring your personal concerns to the service.
This means that we will not discuss anything about you with another person, whether it is a member of your family, a GP, a teacher, a lawyer or another worker without your written permission.
However there are certain areas where we cannot guarantee complete confidentiality. These are:
Child Protection
Information about a child who is at risk of physical, emotional or sexual abuse.
Your counsellor will discuss this with you to find the best way of taking it forward.
Road Safety
If the police ask us for specific information about someone who has committed a driving offence we must give it to them.
Terrorism
If a counsellor receives information about an act of terrorism or a plan to commit an act, they must inform the police immediately without discussing this with you.
Money Laundering
If a counsellor received information about someone who is involved in money laundering, they must inform the police immediately, without discussing this with you.
Significant Harm and Life Threatening Situations
In situations where we believe a client may cause harm to themselves or others, we have a duty to breach confidentiality and discuss the situation with others such as health professionals or police, where appropriate. We always strive to inform the client that this action is being taken but is not possible in all circumstances.
Criminal Law Act 1995
This piece of legislation requires workers notes on client to be made available if requested under subpoena during a court hearing.

Member organisations
COSCA is the professional body for counselling and psychotherapy in Scotland, and seeks to advance all forms of counselling and psychotherapy and the use of counselling skills by promoting best practice and through the delivery of a range of sustainable services. COSCA Counsellor Accreditation is a pathway to entry onto the UKRC.
It is a requirement of all individual and organisational members of COSCA to abide by its Statement of Ethics and Code of Practice and be accountable to the Complaints Procedure. 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.

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).
