About me
Hello, my name is Beckie (she/her).
I am a BACP-accredited therapist with over 10 years post-qualification experience working as a Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I bring a professional, compassionate, and human approach to my work.
My core approach is Person Centred, meaning the pace and content of sessions are led by you. I have continued to add to this through ongoing training in multiple areas, including somatic work (the mind-body connection), creative approaches, and ecotherapy, and will offer these as optional ways to work in our sessions together.
I am also a trained Yoga Teacher and bring to my work as a therapist the learning and insight gained around relaxation and mindfulness, weaving this into sessions to better support clients.
I work within the BACP Ethical Framework, am committed to anti-oppressive practice, and bring a trauma-informed approach to my work.

Member organisations
school 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 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.

Further information
My therapy room is in Todmorden Community College, nestled in the beautiful Calder Valley, just a short walk from Todmorden train station, making it easily accessible from Manchester and Leeds and other stops along this route. There is also a free car park attached to the college.
The room is on the 2nd floor and can be accessed via the lift and 4 steps or a chair lift for use with wheelchairs.
I have not listed my therapy room as fully wheelchair accessible as the doorway is 68cm wide, which I'm aware may not be wide enough for all designs of wheelchairs.
If you have any particular accessibility requirements, please get in touch to discuss, and I will do my best to find a way to meet your needs if I'm able to.
In addition to offering sessions in my therapy room, I offer sessions outdoors, walk and talk sessions, and telephone or video appointments.
All of my sessions are 60 minutes long.
Before your first appointment:
I offer a free 15-minute telephone or video call before you book your first session, so that you can decide if I am the right therapist for you and am able to provide the help and support you're looking for in therapy.
I would encourage you to make contact with more than one therapist before deciding who to go with, as the therapeutic relationship is a key foundation in any counselling or psychotherapy and will hugely impact how beneficial you find the therapy.
