About me
I offer a kind, non-judgmental space to work on what is important to you or causing distress.
If you have been feeling sad, lost your motivation or been feeling anxious about the future. Recently had a big life event, experienced trauma, loss, a relationship breakdown, or, would simply like to understand yourself more deeply - please reach out.
I believe that the therapeutic relationship is important. Once trust is built, we can look at and work on what stands in the way of you becoming the best version of yourself.
After working in the city and experiencing stress and overwhelm, I decided to retrain and become a qualified counsellor. My goal and passion is to work with clients to reach emotional freedom from unwanted or reoccurring emotional difficulties.
You are the driving force in your life, and to be reading these words, you have taken the first step towards change.
We can begin with whatever you feel is relevant or holding you back. Talking therapy provides a platform to improve and move past what can be painful and deep-rooted issues.
Training, qualifications & experience
- Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills
- Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Studies
- Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling
- Level 5 Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) (Awaiting final exam)
- Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)
I trained in Person-Centred counselling to give me a solid foundation and ability in Therapeutic Counselling and continued my training within CBT.
I have experience working with, but not limited to; anxiety, depression or low mood, trauma, bereavement, relationship breakdown, loss, loss of direction, fear, panic attacks and having difficulties leaving the house.
My working knowledge, aside from private practice, is within probation services. I have working experience of how early trauma can change the entire direction of our lives.
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.
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.
