About me
Hello my name is Beth, I am a Person-Centred counsellor/psychotherapist working face to face, online and over the phone with clients 16+
People I work with often find it useful to have a place to explore and process their thoughts and feelings openly without worrying about concern or judgement from friends and family. People may also reach out because they would like to understand more about why they are feeling or behaving a certain way. Some people may not know where to start and that's fine too, there is no pressure, we can work together at your pace.
As a person-centred counsellor I do not judge, tell you what you should be doing or diagnose you. I offer a space where you are the expert in your life. Together, we can unpack and unload what is going on for you and make sense of the challenges you may be experiencing.
I offer a free chat over the phone so you can see if I am the right person to support you and ask any questions you may have. It can often feel overwhelming taking that first step to get in touch. I work to make the process as comfortable and informal as possible so when you are ready feel free to get in touch and we can take it from there.

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.
