About me
Hi I’m Beth, I am a person-centred counsellor working face to face, online and over the phone. I offer safe, confidential client-led sessions to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences. My role is not to diagnose, tell you what to do, or to judge. You are in the driving seat; the sessions will move at your pace.
I offer a free introductory call where we can discuss what you are looking to get out of our time together. This also gives you a chance to decide if you would like to arrange an in-person session.
It can be overwhelming taking the first step to get in touch. I like to keep things informal within the counselling room, so let’s sit down and have a brew!
Training, qualifications & experience
My background is in social care/social science, supporting a range of clients experiencing ADHD, Autism, GDD, behavioral issues, as well as complex trauma and abuse.
I have worked with a number of mental health/ wellbeing organisations within Calderdale, including Unmasked Mental Health and Invictus Wellbeing.

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.
