About me
Hi I'm Cathy (she/her) and as a down to earth and working class person centred counsellor I am here to help you gain a better sense of emotional well-being and be with you as you explore any areas in your life you are struggling with or goals you wish to achieve.
There are times when things can feel overwhelming, scary, or confusing. It isn’t always easy to know what to do or how to navigate a path through it but I am here to help you.
I specialise in anxiety and depression, loneliness and social isolation, bereavement, neurodivergence and LGBTQ+ issues but can equally help with other things you might be struggling with so please do get in touch.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have been with the LGBTQ+ Body Positive charity for a number of years, specialising in sexual health, relationships, gender, and sexuality issues. I also have experience with Healthbox CIC as an online and telephone counsellor helping people with a range of different issues, as well as experience with NHS IAPT (Increasing Access to Psychological Therapies) cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).
I hold a Masters Degree (MA) in Clinical Counselling from the University of Chester and a BSc Hons Degree in Psychology from the Manchester Metropolitan University.
I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and hold a current DBS check as well as being fully professionally insured. I am also registered with the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) so your personal data is always safe with me.
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.
