Psychotherapy Qualifications

I am a qualified psychotherapist with a Masters degree and Diploma in Humanistic and Integrative psychotherapy (MA, Dip. HIP). The course is accredited by UKCP (the leading professional body for psychotherapists in the UK.) and on qualification I became registered as a full clinical member of UKCP. My training was at Bath Centre For Psychotherapy and Counselling, and the MA is validated by Middlesex University. It is a long, postgraduate training over many years, combining rigorous academic and experiential learning. The orientation is Humanistic and Integrative and we were encouraged to form our own synthesis as therapists, a process which continues beyond qualification.

Uniquely, I believe, BCPC helps its students set up in private practice as an integral part of the training; I have many thousands of hours of individual client work since setting up in private practice in 2015. In order to work as therapists we need to know ourselves-weekly personal psychotherapy was a requirement for the duration of the course; I have been in weekly therapy since 2005 and am in the process of ending this work (...for now).

As a UKCP registered psychotherapist, I adhere to both the UKCP and BCPC Codes of Ethics. I receive regular individual and group supervision and have professional indemnity insurance.

You can find me on the UKCP national register which is accredited by the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care.

Before setting up in private practice I did a student placement at the SWAN Project in Bristol. This charity specialises in a non-twelve step approach to alcohol addiction and substance abuse. I have also worked there with clients who have a history of child sexual abuse.

CBT/REBT

My training was with the College of Cognitive Behavioural Therapies, based in London, and I have a Diploma and Advanced Diploma in CBT/REBT.

In the past I have volunteered with Anxiety UK, a national charity, seeing clients on a one-to-one basis within a CBT/REBT framework.

Currently, all CBT/REBT work is held within the framework of my primary psychotherapy training, as part of my psychotherapeutic integration.

Venue

My Practice is at 13-14 Orchard Street, BS1 5EH, just off College Green in central Bristol.

The building is an elegant Georgian terrace and I have a quiet, spacious attic room, furnished with comfortable chairs, rugs and plants.

There are ample, nearby transport links; bus stops on College Green and The Centre, serving the compass points of Bristol, and a direct link to Temple Meads railway station. There is metered on-street parking as well as nearby Trenchard Street NCP, and an open air car park behind City Hall.
