About me
Jill Goodhew is a Senior Accredited BACP member, an experienced and qualified psychotherapist. If you are looking for help and understanding with something which is causing you unhappiness or distress and you feel ready to do something about that, therapy could be helpful to start dealing with it. Your issue doesn't have to have a name or appear in the following list although some people find this useful. Some issues which can be eased through therapy are abuse both physical and emotional, anger, anxiety, bereavement, couples counselling, depression, eating disorders, family issues, identity, loss, low confidence and self-esteem and self-belief, relationship issues including intimacy, affairs and betrayal, separation and divorce and professional relationships, identity, post traumatic stress disorder, stress.
Jill works with individuals and couples online from her practice in which offers a safe, peaceful and confidential environment to work together. Please call or email to arrange a free 30 minute consultation to talk about what you are looking for from therapy and she can talk with you about how she works and how therapy can be beneficial to your quality of life.
Therapy offers a reflective space to talk about something which you might not want to talk about with your friends or family and a safe space to start to work through your issues in your own time. Therapy can empower you to make the changes you need to achieve a successful outcome.
Zoomtherapy, Skypetherapy or FaceTime is available to everyone and offers a more flexible way to engage in psychotherapy from your own home or office or other quiet space. It saves time driving to a practice, finding parking and makes therapy available to more people who might find it difficult to get to the practice for all sorts of reasons, including living abroad.
Jill also offers counselling supervision and coaching supervision. Please call or email for further information and to discuss your needs.

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.
