About me
Hi I'm Bev thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. I am a trauma informed integrative psychotherapist with a wealth of experience in providing support to adults and young people with a range of difficulties and concerns from relationship difficulties to anxiety, low self-esteem and confidence to trauma, Complex PTSD and PTSD in Warwickshire for just over 20 years. I am Accredited with BACP and have worked in non-for-profit agencies specialising in domestic abuse for many years.
I am passionate about making a difference and helping people to become the best version of themselves and overcome any difficulties that are preventing them from living their best lives.
I believe the relationship with your therapist is really important and that's why I offer a free initial session in order for you to assess whether I am the right therapist for you. I predominantly work online via Zoom and offer limited face to face sessions.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have been practicing as a qualified Person-Centred Counsellor for the past 20 years. In 2020 I graduated from The Open University with a BSc (Hons) in Psychology. I have more recently trained in Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR was developed – and is best known – as a therapy for treating trauma or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It’s recognised by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and the World Health Organisation (WHO) as a treatment for PTSD, (BACP 2025).
Having been a talking therapist working with trauma for many years, EMDR I believe is the answer! I really feel that a combination of talking therapy and EMDR can greatly reduce the distressful and often disabling symptoms caused by trauma in both childhood and as an adult, such as, flashbacks, panic attacks, nightmares, anxiety and hypervigilance.
In addition to EMDR and Talking Therapy I also practice in a way that is informed by the Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) model. DDP is an attachment theory based therapy which uses PACE Parenting, a therapeutic parenting approach which can be beneficial for parents whose children have developmental trauma or attachment difficulties.
I believe the relationship with your therapist is really important and that's why I offer a free initial session in order for you to assess whether I am the right therapist for you. I work online via Zoom which gives me the flexibility to work across the UK.

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.
