Counselling Qualifications
I am a BACP-registered counsellor offering integrative counselling in Bath and online.
I hold an Advanced Diploma in Humanistic and Integrative Counselling from the Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling (level 6 diploma). This is a BACP and UKCP dual-accredited training provider.
I abide by the ethical codes of BACP. My work is overseen by a qualified and registered supervisor. I'm fully insured.
I regularly undertake further CPD, including:
Introduction to Internal Family System (IFS), understanding neurodiversity, Trauma Treatment Certification Workshop. Recently, I have started EMDR Certification Training Program. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an integrative therapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven for the treatment of trauma.
I have a Master's degree in Psychology.
Experience as a Therapist
I've had the privilege of working with a wide range of people as a long-term counsellor at Cotswold Counselling in Cirencester and at Bath Spa University with students offering short-term therapy. I set up my private practice in May 2023 and I have been seeing private clients since. I'm also a registered supplier with the Salvation Army.
My work in the therapy room is influenced by my personal experiences of long therapy (which was an integrative part of my studies) and - most importantly - by the transformative effect of being deeply understood and heard by the people I met in my counselling training. They have made a profound difference in my life and have inspired me to do the same. 'Vulnerability begets vulnerability; courage is contagious' (Brené Brown)
