As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I’ve achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the organisation and I’ve trained in several psychological models. This is important for you to know, as I practice at a high professional standard.
Academic qualifications
- BSc (Hons) Degree in Integrative Counselling accredited by the UK Council for psychotherapy (UKCP)
- BACP Certificate of Proficiency
Post-qualifying training
I believe strongly in professional development within the field of psychotherapeutic work – thus my continuing post-qualifying training!
This includes expanding on my skills and knowledge by regularly attending workshops, conferences and seminars, as well as monthly clinical supervision, including:
- CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)
- Mindfulness
- Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
- Working with Couples
- Domestic Violence and Abuse
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder – PTSD
- Anger, Stress, and Aggression
- Working with Mental Health Issues
- Mind and Body Training
BACP is approved by the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care. The accredited register mark is recognition of my commitment to practice safely, ethically and legally.
Experience
I have experience of working with clients from a great diversity of backgrounds, ages, sexualities and cultures.
I have also worked for a variety of different organisations in the charitable, public and private health sectors, as well as within the NHS and Westminster Mind (a mental health charity). This has given me invaluable experience dealing with a vast range of issues.
