Education & Training
University of Bristol
|
Between 2008-2011 Emily attended the University of Bristol where she achieved a high 2.1 in Politics. She became passionate about examining international humanitarian issues such as inter- and intra-cultural tensions, crises and inequalities. For her thesis Emily therefore investigated the causal factors and triggers of political intolerances in the US: focusing on racism, homophobia and Islamophobia. Emily continues to draw upon these learnings within her practice, via her appreciation for how individual and cultural differences and inequalities can impact upon her clients and their wellbeing. In a culturally sensitive manner, she thus integrates these understandings into her approach to explore the influence and impact of culture within each of her client's lives and experiences.

Regents University London

Emily initially completed an intensive Post-Graduate Foundation Certificate in Psychotherapy and Counselling at Regents University London in 2012, before continuing on to study this subject via a Master of Arts degree between 2012-2017. These courses equipped her with a strong theoretical knowledge of Psychoanalysis, Existential and Humanistic schools of thought, and nurtured the development of her professional skills and therapeutic approach. Emily conducted 470+ hours of therapy alongside these studies, achieving above and beyond the requirements of both the course and of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). She was thus awarded her Registered Membership of the BACP (mBACP) to be become a fully-qualified Integrative Psychotherapist in May 2015. She can subsequently be found on the official BACP register of qualified Psychotherapists.
Emily continued to broaden her theoretical understandings as a Psychotherapist by additionally completing a Master of Science degree in Psychology with Distinction between 2014-2015. She was subsequently granted her Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership by the British Psychological Society (mBPsS: BPS). Her research thesis exploring the effects of aging on multisensory memory and perceptual acuity was subsequently published, and two further projects she was involved in are being prepared for publication. In 2017 Emily completed a High Intensity Post-Graduate Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapies via Royal Holloway, working alongside at Kensington and Chelsea's IAPT primary care service. Emily delivered over 200 clinical hours of CBT to clients with a range of anxiety and mood disorders including PTSD, OCD, Panic, Phobias, Generalised Anxiety and Depression. Emily has since been awarded her full accreditation with the BABCP and can be found on the CBT register as a fully qualified and accredited CBT therapist. In September 2017 Emily commenced a 3-year Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Royal Holloway. In 2020 she will therefore be eligible to apply for chartered status with the BPS, and for registration with the Health and Care Professionals Council (HCPC) as a Clinical Psychologist. Throughout this professional doctorate Emily is refining and developing additional skills in order to work across a broader range of ages, populations and mental health difficulties. Furthermore, this training enables her to acquire additional competencies in further therapeutic models and interventions such as in Neuropsychology. Alongside, she is in the process of designing her major research project with the ultimate aim of publication. Across this doctorate Emily is particularly passionate about working with trauma and psychosis in a refugee population, in particular, those how are survivors of torture. Emily further intends to undertake the necessary professional training to become a qualified and accredited supervisor, in order to support the professional development and training of aspiring trainee Psychotherapists, CBT therapists and Psychologists. She continues to develop the leadership skills necessary to advance to a Consultant level and Clinical Lead of NHS services. |
