About me
Hi, I’m Carley, a qualified and registered BACP counsellor offering one to one counselling sessions for adults & children in a warm, non-judgemental space.
Whether you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, low in self-esteem or simply unsure where to turn next, I'm here to help.
I offer sessions from either a tranquil cabin in the Ashdown Forest or online, telephone sessions are also available.
Together we can explore what’s going on for you at your pace. I work in a calm, compassionate way.
If you’d like to find out more or see if we’re a good fit, feel free to message me for a free introductory call.
Whether you are an adult or a young person, my aim is to offer you the space and support to navigate your journey with compassion and care.
If you feel ready to talk, or are simply curious about whether counselling could help, please feel free to get in touch.
Training, qualifications & experience
Qualifications, training and experience:
Degree in Person-Centred Counselling - University of Brighton
Certificate in Couples Counselling-Connexus Institute, Hove
Specialist training in Complex Grief Counselling
Currently undertaking further specialist training in counselling children and adolescents
Alongside private practice, I spent two years volunteering as a Bereavement Counsellor at St Wilfrid’s Hospice in Eastbourne.
To support my post-qualifying studies, I now also work within a school setting offering counselling sessions to 11–16 year olds.
I have many hours of experience supporting people through the often overwhelming pain of loss and grief, which can bring a cascade of challenges such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, family strain, financial difficulties, and a profound sense of isolation.
In addition to grief work, I support individuals in exploring unresolved childhood trauma and current behaviours that may feel difficult to understand or change.
My extensive travels and time living in the Middle East have also deepened my awareness of cultural differences, which I bring into my work with clients from a wide range of backgrounds.
I offer sessions in person, online, or over the telephone, depending on your needs and preferences.
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.
