About me
Hello and thank you for visiting my page.
My name is Skye, and I am an integrative counsellor, psychotherapist and psychosexual therapist. I have worked in clinical practice as a therapist for over eight years and I am also a lecturer in counselling at a London university. I am currently working online, with a view to move back to some face to face work later in the year.
Being 'integrative' means I am trained in a number of therapy approaches and that I tailor the way I work to meet your needs and identified goals for therapy. I offer a confidential, empathetic and professional space in which we would work together towards your counselling goal. I work in a relational way, which means my clients report feeling safe and comfortable to explore things they bring to therapy.
I have a wide range of experience supporting clients who have come to therapy for varying reasons. This work may be short term or more open ended, which we can identify together depending on the areas you would like to work on in counselling. I also offer specialised counselling for couples.
I have specialisms in working with trauma (current and childhood), sexual health and wellbeing, psychosexual therapy (sex therapy), gender identity/gender incongruence, and working with the LGBTQ + community. My work with couples covers relational and sexual issues.
I regularly work with stress, anxiety and depression, as well as workplace specific issues. It may be that you are reaching out for support surrounding low mood, self esteem issues, confidence or relationship challenges, which are further areas of work I commonly support clients with.
If you have any questions then please do drop me an email and we can arrange a time to speak.
Fees and Format
I offer a no cost initial 15 minute phone call to discuss the type of support you're looking for, and for you to get a sense of how I work and see if you feel I might be the right therapist for you.
I am currently working online, with a view to move back to some face to face work later in 2022.
Concessions available, please highlight this in your email.

Member organisations
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.

Information about Counselling
Short term counselling is suitable when you are experiencing current distress or issues relating to a current problem. This may be if you are experiencing stress at work, low level anxiety or depression, negative thinking and a range of other issues. With short term work we would be looking at setting a very clear goal to work towards during our time together.
Open ended counselling is suitable for those who know there are issues stemming from their past experiences. Open ended provides the opportunity to go back and work through these experiences, looking at your fundamental beliefs and challenging those that cause you pain. Open ended counselling is suitable for issues such as grief, childhood sexual abuse, loss and many more.
I also offer psychosexual therapy to individuals and couples. Psychosexual therapy may include working with a particular sexual problem you are experiencing, sexual dysfunction, relationship issues, gender identity, sexual shame and so on.
