I am a United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) Registered Psychotherapist where I hold full clinical membership (Member Number 2011172881).
I gained a Level 7 Postgraduate Advanced Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy with the Welsh Psychotherapy Institute (WPI). The training was extensive- along with 4 years of post-graduate academic study and skills training I undertook over 160 hours of my own personal in-depth psychotherapy. This exhaustive training has enabled me to be confident in my ability to work ethically with a wide range of people with emotional difficulties, mental health issues and those who may be facing the challenges of modern day life.
As part of my clinical placement I worked for 3 years in an NHS setting counselling patients referred via their GPs. I am now in Private Practice.
In accordance with UKCP I hold up to date professional indemnity insurance and have regular supervision from an accredited clinical supervisor. I am also a member of the Welsh Psychotherapy Institute (WPI) where I am Assistant Tutor on Year 4 of the Post Graduate Advanced Diploma in Integrative and Gestalt Psychotherapy
