About me
I am a psychoanalytic psychotherapist accredited by the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) working from my office in Newport, near Saffron Walden, Essex. I work mainly with adults but have experience of working with younger people from the age of 16yrs. The type of therapy I offer can be long term or short term depending on what is felt needed or possible at the start. I have experience of working with a wide range of emotional issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, PTSD, sexual abuse, trauma to name a few. Sessions are 50 mins long and can be once or twice a week (or more if required) working face to face from my garden office or online.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a BA(Hons) in Sociology, a certificate and foundation level Psychodynamic Counselling and a UCKP accredited Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy qualification.
I have many years of experience together with a previous career in probation services working with CBT, substance abuse programmes and victim support.
I have worked in a psychiatric setting running an open psychotherapy group for inpatients.
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.
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.

Further information
Whilst my background training is psychoanalytic, my approach to working is more person-centred, working with what is present as well as the possible roots, or unconscious processes of emotional issues.
