About me
Compassionate Counselling for Children, Young People & Adults
Hello, I’m Camilla, a qualified and experienced Counsellor and Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), working within their ethical framework.
I provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly and feel understood. I work collaboratively with clients to explore difficulties, build resilience, and develop practical strategies to manage challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, low self-esteem, and emotional overwhelm. I also help clients understand how past experiences may be impacting their present lives.
I have extensive experience working with adults, young people, and children aged five and above, both in private practice and as a school-based counsellor in primary and secondary settings. When working with children, I use creative and age-appropriate approaches to help them express and process feelings safely.
My experience includes supporting clients with bereavement, anger, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, domestic abuse, and confidence difficulties. I integrate CBT techniques where appropriate, helping clients understand how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are connected and providing tools to create positive change.
I offer both short-term and long-term counselling, with daytime and evening appointments available.

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.

When I work
I work in schools during the day and therefore offer counselling appointments in the evenings and at weekends, allowing flexible support around work, school, and family commitments.
Further information
I understand that reaching out for support can feel daunting, especially if you’ve been carrying things on your own for a long time. My approach is warm, genuine, and down-to-earth. I aim to create a space where you feel safe, accepted, and able to talk openly without fear of judgement.
Alongside my professional training and experience, I bring a deep sense of empathy and understanding into my work. I believe that feeling truly heard and supported can be a powerful step toward healing, growth, and positive change. I work collaboratively and at your pace, helping you make sense of your thoughts, feelings, and experiences while developing practical tools to support you in everyday life.
I work with both short-term and longer-term therapy, depending on what feels right for you. Whether you are facing a specific difficulty or feeling overwhelmed without fully knowing why, we can explore this together in a supportive and respectful way.
Choosing the right therapist is important, and the initial session offers the opportunity for you to ask questions, share what’s brought you to counselling, and see whether you feel comfortable working with me.
