Credentials and Professional Standards

Professional Memberships
 

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)

and work in line with their Ethical Framework to ensure safe, respectful, and ethical practice. 

​

 

​​​​Safety & Professional Standard​​
 

 

I maintain high standards of safety and professionalism through:
•     regular clinical supervision
•     full professional indemnity insurance
•     GDPR‑compliant systems for storing information
•     clear boundaries and confidentiality
•     working within my competence and training

​

​

​

​​​​​Who I Can and Can't Work With


I work with most general emotional and psychological presentations which may have a physical component.

 

I’m not able to work with:
•     severe or acute mental health difficulties needing crisis or multidisciplinary support
•     active alcohol or drug dependency
•     active suicidal intent (plans or immediate risk)
This ensures you receive the right level of care and support.​​
