Hi - my name is Becky, and I’m passionate about people and supporting them on their own personal journeys, helping them gain clarity around what’s going on in their life, and improving their mental health and wellbeing. 

I spent the first twenty years of my career supporting and caring for people in a variety of nursing roles. Over the last decade I have become increasingly aware of the importance of offering and prioritising robust mental health and emotional support, in addition to managing physical health needs. This led me to build on this experience and become a counsellor.

This combination of understanding both mental wellbeing as well as physical conditions allows me to gain a deep understanding of an individual’s holistic needs and ensures they can maximise the benefit they get from a counselling relationship. 

I use what’s referred to as a person-centred approach, which is where you are central to the process of therapy. I create a safe, calm, and impartial environment to help you identify and explore the challenges you face, develop a better understanding of your situation, and facilitate change to deal with this in the future.

I can support clients with a variety of needs, and have particular experience and interest in a number of fields including anxiety & depression, bereavement, women’s health & menopause, long-term health conditions, and neurodivergence (including autism and ADHD).

I have worked with many different client groups, including working professionals, parents, LGBTQ+, and carers, and always work closely with each individual to understand their own personal circumstances.

Please feel free to look at my website for my qualifications, personal development and areas of special interest.

Finding a therapist, you feel comfortable with can be challenging. There is evidence that the relationship between the client and counsellor is paramount to therapy being effective. That is why before starting therapy, I offer a free 30-minute (no obligation) telephone call. This is a great opportunity for us to start to get to know one another, ask questions and consider if we are the right fit for each other. It also means that you are able to share information in advance of starting sessions, so we are then able to get straight to work.

Following this you have the option to book for a session, go and chat with other therapists or just have time to think things through before making a decision.
