About me
Hello!
My name is Angie, and I am a qualified Counsellor and Clinical Supervisor and an Accredited and Registered Member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). This means that you can trust that I work in accordance with the BACP Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions.
I am experienced in supporting adults in areas including sexuality, relationships, and gender, as well as depression, childhood trauma and self-harming behaviours. I have a particular interest and experience in supporting clients who identify as neurodivergent; through the process of receiving diagnoses, and with associated mental health concerns including but not limited to depression, disordered eating, relational challenges, and executive functioning.
Humanistic Integrative Counselling
I work within a humanistic integrative framework using elements of different counselling theories including person centred, existential and gestalt, to suit your individual needs.
I am committed to centering the relationship between counsellor and client and see this as one of the key factors in a successful counselling partnership. To that end, I offer a free initial telephone consultation to allow a space for you to consider working with me, as well as committing to regularly reviewing the working relationship between us throughout the counselling process.
Autism
My interest in working therapeutically with autistic people stems from my own lived experiences. Throughout my counselling career this has been complemented by comprehensive training with The National Autism Society, BACP and other training providers to further inform my understanding of the complexities of autism and mental health and to hear from as many different perspectives as possible. My aim is that we work together to identify any adjustments that can be made to allow you to engage in the counselling process with more ease. I hope that we can co-create an environment centred around your needs to ensure you are able to engage with me in a way that feels most comfortable for you.
ADHD
I am also passionate about supporting clients with ADHD, in particular those with late diagnoses of ADHD who may have related mental health concerns including depression, disordered eating, relational challenges, and executive functioning.
GSRD (Gender, Sexual and Relationship Diversity)
I am committed to embracing inclusivity and welcome all aspects of gender, sexual and relationship diversity, supporting clients from diverse client groups from an affirmative perspective. I am Polyamory Aware and Kink Aware. I have attended a number of training events to inform my understanding of these areas and continue to engage with education and training in these areas.

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.
