About Me
I am trained in Integrative Psychotherapy, Person Centred Creative Arts and have completed a level 7 Graduate Diploma in Compassion Focused Therapy. I am also a qualified teacher. I provide 1:2:1 and group Compassion Focused Therapy techniques.
My work is holistic drawing on my experience as a creative therapeutic facilitator, somatic therapy training and practice of Qi-gong.
I have worked as a therapist for over 5 years.
I endeavour to be inclusive in my delivery of both group and 1:2:1 therapeutic and educational work. I take into consideration different needs, understandings and backgrounds so all can engage in a safe and beneficial way. I am fortunate that I work in a team that is multi-racial, different ages, wide range of cultures, religions, orientations and physical abilities and interests. We celebrate each individual’s unique qualities and I learn new things about the diversity of human life everyday.
I am an accredited member of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and follow the NCPS Ethical Framework guidelines in my work.
I maintain clinical work standards by taking part in private supervision sessions each month.
All my client assessments and evaluation feedback are kept confidential. The only exception to this is if consent is given by the client.
Alternatively if there is an immediate safeguarding concern involving the client or a third party who is at risk, I will break confidentiality following the rules of GDPR.
