About me
Hello, my name is Brenda. I work in an Integrative way so that I may draw on different theories and approaches that best suit the individual client. I believe counselling is a two-way process and we can work together to find out which approach best suits you. I work in a client-led way, so we can go at your pace and we can explore your feelings in a way that works for you.
I work with clients who are at big life stages and are questioning who they are and what they want for the next stage of life, this might include change of career, children leaving home, menopause, end of a relationship or retirement.
I come from a background in Early Years Education. Many of the theories in counselling are based upon our experiences in our formative years and how they shape our lives and choices in the here and now. With that in mind, I will often work with the client's 'Inner Child' to explore childhood emotions and the impact they can have on adult lives.
I offer both face-to-face sessions and online sessions.

Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.
Experience working with clients questioning life choices, grief, relationship difficulties, and anxiety. Trauma, Adult survivors of Child sexual abuse, neglect, emotional and physical abuse.
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.
