About me
Hi, I'm Beth. I'm interested in you, your experiences and how they've shaped the person you are today. Sometimes we spend so much time adapting, coping and getting on with things that we don't always have the opportunity to explore the impact they've had on us.
I'd like to offer you a space where you can do just that. A space to explore your experiences, what they mean to you and how you feel about things, at your own pace.
You can come to counselling exactly as you are, and bring whatever is going on for you.
Being heard and listened to is not something we often get in our day-to-day lives. Having that opportunity can help us make better sense of what we're going through and begin to work out what we want for ourselves.
We'll work through it together and see what comes up. I work from a person-centred and integrative approach, so our sessions can look different depending on what you need and what's going on for you.
I became a counsellor because my own counselling did so much for me at a low point in my life. I know what it's like to feel unsure about who you are, to struggle to cope, and to feel caught between wanting to fit in and wanting to be yourself.
That experience is a big part of why I care about this work. Having someone alongside you as you explore what's going on can make a real difference.
Online counselling is available throughout the UK, with face-to-face sessions in Tansor, Northamptonshire.
Sessions are available for adults and young people over the age of 15.
You can bring your whole self to our sessions, without needing to hide or explain parts of who you are.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have previous experience working within a GP surgery and for a charity supporting disabled children and their families.
At the GP surgery, I counselled people from 14 to 80 years old, with a wide range of experiences including neurodivergence, identity challenges, chronic pain, bereavement and grief, loss of ability and changes in relationships.
Through my work with the charity, I have counselled young people aged 11–16 with physical and learning disabilities, speech difficulties, chronic illness, ADHD and autism. I have also supported parents whose family life can become heavily focused around their children and the challenges they face.
Now in private practice, I support people with a range of issues, such as family difficulties, bereavement, relationship changes with partners and friends, past experiences that feel hard to move on from and more.
I'm interested in relationships and the many ways they can become complicated. This might include estrangement, ghosting, feeling unsure about staying in contact, or navigating painful or confusing dynamics with family, partners, or friends.
I also support people who are grieving a difficult relationship, whether through bereavement, estrangement, a relationship breakdown, or the realisation that a relationship may never be what they needed it to be.
These experiences often sit alongside other challenges, and counselling can offer space to explore what feels difficult and what matters to you.
Alongside my professional experience, I bring my own lived experience which shapes my understanding of identity, belonging, and the different ways we cope when life becomes overwhelming.

Creativity can also be woven into our work where it feels helpful. This might be using something visual, writing, drawing, or finding another way of exploring something together. You don't need to consider yourself a creative person. Sometimes it can be easier to explore something when you don't have to find all the words for it.

Further information
People from all backgrounds are welcome, and my approach is LGBTIQA+ and neurodivergence-affirming. I offer online counselling across the UK.
I offer face-to-face counselling from my private counselling room in Tansor, just outside Oundle.
The room is centrally located just off the A605, making it accessible for clients travelling from Peterborough, Corby, Sawtry, Stamford, Thrapston and surrounding areas.
Before starting counselling, we can arrange a free 15-minute chat. This gives us a chance to briefly talk about what you're looking for, for you to ask any questions, and to get a feel for whether working together might be right for you.
There's no pressure to book in afterwards.
