About me
Benefit from the Dual Approach of Psychotherapy and Coaching for empowering mind clarity and long-lasting positive changes.
Hello, my name is Aude and I am a BACP registered Psychotherapist and Transformational Coach with over a decade of professional experience in private practice, specialist school, CAHMS, colleges and charities.
By addressing both emotional and practical challenges, my unique approach can foster more lasting and meaningful changes to meet the full spectrum of your personal needs, moving seamlessly between therapeutic techniques and coaching strategies.
More than offering you a safe place to explore and process your feelings, your past and present experiences, I empower you to create the mind shift you need and want through truly understanding how your unique mind works and responds before potentially implementing the small realistic changes you need and want for a healthier and more fulfilling life.
Tailored practical tools and techniques will help you evaluate your needs, gain a deeper understanding of yourself, your current circumstances and your relationships to make empowered choices and changes towards your personal or professional goals.
My expertise covers:
- Anxiety & Depression
- Trauma and traumatic events
- Abuse (including Emotional & Narcissistic)
- Neurodivergence: ADHD & Autism Spectrum Disorder (diagnosed or undiagnosed)
- LGBTQ+ challenges
Making sure you feel safe and comfortable with me is important. I believe my multi-cultural background, personal life journey and wide professional experience mean that I am able to authentically offer a safe and non-judgemental approach rooted in compassion around a wide range of presenting issues.
My multi-disciplinary approach incorporates Person-centred, Psychodynamic, Transformational Coaching, Neuro-linguistic Programming, Mindfulness and CBT modalities, which are tailored to each client's individual needs and goals.
Considering therapy may feel daunting so please do contact me and I will be happy to answer any questions you may have about how the process works.
Your first step is to be ready to consider therapy, then find the courage to get in touch with registered therapists to make sure you find the right therapist for you.

Member organisations
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.

It's not always easy to put a name on how we feel so please thinking something doesn't feel right or that life shouldn't feel that challenging is a good starting point to explore further in therapy.
