About me
Hello, my name is Bridget. I have been in private practice for over 20 years, and I understand that you may be visiting my profile because life has become uneven or unexpected challenges have started to feel difficult to navigate, At times, we all need support to find a way forward. I offer a calm, compassionate and confidential space where you can explore what is happening in your life, in your time, at your pace, and with no pressure. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you work through obstacles and supporting you as you as you reconnect with your own strength, clarity and direction.
As an integrative therapist, I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches to meet your individual needs. I support both individuals and couples helping clients to; Develop effective coping strategies, improve communication and understanding, explore emotional patterns and relational dynamics, build confidence and self- awareness and work towards meaningful, and lasting change.
I believe deeply in the potential for growth. With the right support, people can create positive, empowering shifts in their lives, and I am here to help you to do just that.
Is Counselling Right For You?
There are times in life when we feel stuck or unable to make sense of what is happening around us. When challenges become overwhelming, working with a counsellor can offer the support and clarity needed to move forward. Choosing to begin counselling is an act of courage. It reflects a willingness to acknowledge that something is not quite right and a desire to explore it with professional support. Through the counselling process, you can gain insight, and develop new perspectives and begin to navigate life with greater confidence and understanding.
Counselling provides a safe, confidential space where your experiences are heard, respected and explored at your pace. It is an opportunity to reconnect with yourself and discover the tools you need to create meaningful change.
Online and telephone Sessions
I meet with clients on a weekly basis, offering a consistent and reliable space for reflection and growth. We begin with an initial six week contract, after which we review how you are feeling, what progress has been made, and where you feel you are within the therapeutic process. This ensures the work remains focused, collaborative and centred around your needs.
I offer morning, afternoon and evening appointments to support different schedules. I work from my home practice, which provides a calm, comfortable and private environment where you can feel at ease as we explore yout experiences together.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
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.
