Training and Qualifications

Having completed training with the Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling (BCPC), I hold a Masters Qualification (MA) and Professional Award (Dip HIP) from Middlesex University.  This is a United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) professional qualification, having met the training standards as set by them.

My training had a focus on both experiential personal development and academic theoretical learning.  I undertook two placements and set up my private practice.   During the seven years of training I was required to be in weekly psychotherapy and private supervision.  This means I have great depth of experience of the process of therapy and the importance of professional support as a therapist.

I have previously volunteered and worked as a Psychotherapist in the NHS and as such held an enhanced DBS (CRB) and a clinical licence to practice; I worked 1:1 with patients as well as within an art therapy group.

I am part of a Professional Peer Supervision group and attend continued professional development (CPD) courses and workshops on a regular basis. These activities provide professional support, discussion and development.

Additional Training

I have completed the Certificate in training of the Couple Relationship Therapy with Tavistock Relationships.
