About me

My name is Cait and I am an Integrative Counsellor & Therapist. 

I understand that therapy can be daunting and that choosing what type of therapist seems right for you can be confusing and overwhelming. As an integrative therapist, I bring together different modes of therapeutic working (ie: psychodynamic, person-centred, existential) to create something uniquely tailored to your own needs. As a relational therapist, I believe that building a strong and trusting therapeutic alliance between us is key to making the work feel safe, comfortable and to helping you reach your goals.

My belief is that we all are deserving of a safe space in which we are able to bring parts of ourselves which might be hard to discuss, feel hidden or shameful and be met with compassion and non-judgement. I provide a safe space for you to feel seen. heard and supported, working collaboratively to support growth and healing. 

I aim to meet you where you are currently to support you in the process of brining clarity and self-acceptance into your life. My role is to help you develop a greater sense of autonomy over your life and to feel more in control of the choices you are able to make. This often involves me helping to disentangle the emotional knots which may be preventing you from living as you might wish to. 

Together we may look into the past, present and future as well as considering both your mind and body, as I believe all inform one another. 

I have worked with clients on a range of presenting issues and have experience in; relationship struggles, trauma, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, identity, sexuality, self-esteem, family issues and abuse. 

Please feel free to contact me for a no obligation free 15 minute conversation to see if you think we could work well together.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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).

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
