About me

Hi, I’m Aden. Perhaps you’re struggling to make sense of things at the moment? Perhaps you’re struggling with feelings you can’t quite put your finger on? Or maybe you’re experiencing overwhelming emotions that leave you anxious, stressed, or fearful? Maybe you feel stuck and that you’re unable to gain momentum? You’ve come to the right place. 

As a fully trained counsellor, I am here to help you navigate, and make sense of what is going on for you, in order to find the solutions you need. Together, we can provide you with the tools to help you live your life in a way that best serves you, with more understanding and authenticity. 

I am here to provide a safe, non-judgmental, confidential, and warm environment for you. We explore your inner thoughts and feelings at your pace, you are always the focus of the therapeutic work, and in control of what is spoken about in our sessions. Trust is an essential part of the therapeutic relationship, and I am here to support you through difficult times. 

Counselling can help to develop your self awareness, understand how you relate to yourself and with others, and provide you with the resilience needed to make positive, long lasting changes in your life. My ambition is to help people discover their true selves, and to live a more authentic, and fulfilling life. 

I am able to offer In-Person sessions, as well as online (Zoom), telephone, and also Walk & Talk sessions for those who prefer talking in a more natural setting.

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.

NCPS
National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS)

The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
