About me

Hello!

My name is Angie, and I am a qualified Counsellor and 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, and how these experiences can impact your day to day life.  I have a particular interest and experience in supporting neurodivergent clients with associated mental and physical health concerns including anxiety, relational challenges, executive functioning and chronic health conditions, and how neurodivergence can impact (and benefit) careers including PhD studies and academia.

​​​Autism, ADHD and Neurodivergence​

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.

​I am also passionate about supporting clients with ADHD, in particular women with late diagnoses of ADHD who may have related mental health concerns including depression, disordered eating, relational challenges, and executive functioning. ​​

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.

​GSRD (Gender, Sexual and Relationship Diversity)

I am committed to embracing inclusivity and welcome all aspects of gender, sexual and relationship diversity, supporting all clients from an affirmative perspective. I am Polyamory Aware and Kink Aware, and am queer and trans welcoming. 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. ​

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.

Member organisations

school Registered / Accredited

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
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.

Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
