About me
Hello, my name is Deirdre Coyne. I am a qualified counsellor and accredited member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists. I have many years’ experience in formal counselling and I am passionate about helping people to lose weight and manage their weight through Nutritional Coaching and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
My specialism is helping women over forty to help them achieve freedom from binge eating, emotional eating, stress eating and changing their focus from weight loss to health.
Why?
Because I spent 35 years struggling to lose weight and yo-yo dieting. My own experience has made me determined to help other women break that cycle and achieve permanent weight loss so that they have the confidence to live life fully and love who they see in the mirror.
How did I do it for myself?
I discovered the power of mindset, mindful eating and nutrition. These three tools freed me from the cycle of dieting and weight gain. I reached my ideal weight and have maintained it ever since.
What I bring to my clients is simple. It’s the ability to take control and not let what they eat and how they feel when they look in the mirror rule their lives. I give them the tools to make the right choices for them and their lifestyle.
Working together we address the root problems of what they eat, why they eat and when they eat. We then create a personalised plan that will allow them to make the changes they want to make happen.

Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
