About me

Hello, I'm Becky, thank you for viewing my profile.  A fully qualified and experienced psychotherapeutic counsellor, I am also an accredited divorce coach and experienced Parenting Apart Practitioner trained to support Parents and families experiencing separation and divorce.

I work in private practice, offering counselling face to face from my therapy room in Blakedown, Worcestershire.  I also work online via Zoom and over the telephone.  Fully insured, my work is guided by the BACP's Ethical Framework.

By visiting my profile, it is likely that you or someone you care about are experiencing some difficulties in your life.  We can all face times of crisis and uncertainty in our lives, times where we might feel unable to see or think things through clearly. We can feel confused, distressed, overwhelmed and sometimes stuck and unable to find a route forward. Deciding to come to counselling can feel daunting and making that first contact can be one of the hardest steps to make.  I understand this, and assure you of a warm welcome.  I offer a safe, confidential space in which you will be met with compassion, understanding and sensitivity to talk about the issues you are experiencing and the impact they are having on your life.

I believe talking in a safe and confidential space, free from judgment really can help during difficult times in our lives.  Given time and space to be heard and understood can bring about positive change and be both an empowering and enlightening experience.

Whatever difficulty you are facing, I believe I can support you to explore the feelings you are experiencing and find a way to increase your ability to cope and feel better.

Passionate about my work, I care deeply about supporting people to explore the issues that matter most to them.

I offer a free initial 30 minute discovery consultation and welcome your enquiry.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am trained to use an integrative approach which means I draw from a variety of counselling theories to best meet the needs of each individual client.

I am a registered member of the BACP, a qualified member of the Divorce Coaching Academy and a member of Resolution (a community of family justice professionals who work with families and individuals to resolve issues in a constructive way).  I have a special interest in supporting families experiencing difficulties  caused by separation and divorce, together with a passion for supporting adults who have been impacted by their parent's separtion or divorce.   

I am also experienced in supporting individuals affected by loss and bereavement.

Professional development is important to me and I am continually updating my knowledge and experience.

Member organisations

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.

Accredited register membership

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy

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.
