🌱 About Me
I am a Senior Accredited Counsellor and Supervisor with extensive experience supporting practitioners at every stage of their professional journey. As the co-author of the NCPS Good Practice Guide to Supervision, I bring not only a wealth of clinical experience, but also a clear and ethical framework for empowering practitioners to deepen their reflective practice, develop confidence, and enhance client outcomes.

My approach is collaborative, curious, and compassionate — tailored to meet the evolving needs of each supervisee.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
