Andrea Aylward BA(Hons), MBACP
About me
Therapy is about moving on from the challenges that can block our lives and seeking change through exploring the hope, potential and opportunity within us.
The first change that occurs is in someone recognising that they need support and then taking the positive step of making contact. The support I offer is in assisting them to explore, challenge and change the things that are standing in their way.
Therapy is also about developing positive mental health skills and strategies, in order to maintain long term health and happiness.
My hope is to enable others to move beyond their challenges, reach their goals and enjoy more fulfilling lives.
I offer a £20 reduced fee introductory session to all one-to-one clients and
a £30 reduced fee introductory session fee for couples.

COVID-19
During the current Covid-19 Pandemic, it is even more important that mental health support is available.
Whilst the office has had to close, you can still access support in the following ways;
Walking Therapy
This service offers the opportunity to meet with your therapist face-to-face, outdoors, whilst walking on safe, risk assessed routes, maintaining social distancing regulations. This is beneficial to many clients, in many ways and is a long term aid to positive mental health.

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
