About me
Hi, I’m Cassie and I’m a BACP-registered person-centred counsellor.
You might feel like you don’t quite fit in, or like you’ve had to adapt who you are to be accepted by those around you.
You may be questioning your identity, trying to understand yourself more deeply, or feeling unsure where you belong. These experiences can feel confusing and quite lonely, especially if you’ve felt judged or misunderstood.
I offer a calm, accepting space where you can explore who you are at your own pace. My approach is person-centred and reflective, supporting you to develop a greater sense of self-acceptance and clarity.
I bring both professional training and lived experience to my work, and have experience working therapeutically with neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ clients.
Reaching out for counselling can feel like a big step. You might not know what to say, or even why you feel the way you do, but that’s okay.
How I can help:
I offer a warm, down-to-earth space where you can talk openly, without fear of judgment. A space where you don’t have to filter yourself, hold it all together, or have the “right words.”
We’ll go at your pace, starting wherever you are.
Together, we can begin to make sense of what’s going on for you—exploring your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
Over time, this can help you:
- feel more like yourself
- understand yourself better; why you think and feel the way you do
- build confidence and self-acceptance
- feel clearer about what you want and need
This is your space. Somewhere you can be heard, understood, and supported without pressure.
How I work:
As a person-centred counsellor I won’t tell you what to do or try to “fix” you. Instead, I’ll work alongside you: offering empathy, understanding, and acceptance so you can explore things in your own way. I believe that when we feel truly heard, things can begin to shift.
Our sessions will be led by you. We might explore patterns in your life, how you see yourself, or how you experience relationships.
Next steps:
I offer daytime and evening appointments, both in person and online. Sessions are £50.
It’s completely okay if you’re unsure about counselling or don’t know where to start.
If you’d like to ask a question or see if we might be a good fit, you’re very welcome to get in touch. I also offer a free 20-minute introductory call, so you can get a feel for whether working together feels right.

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.
