About me
My name is Blou (pronounced like the colour) and I offer friendly, highly professional, online counselling sessions, in a gentle way. Based on kindness and compassion towards your unique situation. Whether you are experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, loneliness, trauma, loss or adjustment, I am here for you.
I am solution-focused practitioner, Psychotherapist and Counsellor. My dynamic style of Integrated counselling will help you function better, achieve goals and feel good about yourself.
My online practice includes a private membership, through my website, which provides additional resources and exclusive membership benefits. Through my online platform you can truly unlock your potential and learn the skills to heal your mind, body and soul.
I am a BACP accredited psychotherapist, which means I have completed over 500 hours of complex case counselling work. I also have an additional diploma in online counselling. I am a certified Future Basing Coach, which is an outcome focused approach for organising change, that can radically empower your life.
My background is extensive and eclectic across a range of full time employed careers in the NHS, LGBT services, Community Charities, alongside my own entrepreneurial creative arts business. All of these experiences have helped me become highly skilled in communicating and guiding others to unlock their full potential, in an organised and compassionate approach.
Please see my training and experience section for a comprehensive list of my qualifications.
If you feel lost and are looking for holistic guidance, then I am here to help those dedicated to their own self improvement.
Don’t delay, you could feel better by the end of the day.

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.
