About me
Hi, I’m Celia, an integrative therapist based in Rothley, Leicestershire. I have a special interest in supporting people affected by illness. This includes not only those living with a diagnosis but also family members and loved ones who are impacted. I am drawn towards working with women in the area of women's health, I specialise in supporting women impacted by cancer.
I offer a supportive space where you can feel comfortable exploring whatever’s on your mind. My approach is compassionate and tailored to you, drawing on a range of counselling theories and techniques to find what works best for your needs.
I work in line with the ethical guidelines of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and I’m committed to providing a safe and respectful environment—whether that’s face-to-face, online, or over the phone. I hope that you’ll feel truly heard and supported as we work together.
People come to therapy for all sorts of reason: stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or big life changes. You might be dealing with family or relationship issues, work pressures, money worries, or struggling with low self-esteem or confidence. Maybe you’ve recently been diagnosed with Autism or ADHD and are trying to make sense of what that means for you.
Whatever’s brought you here, you don’t have to face it alone. Reaching out for professional support can make a real difference, and I’m here to walk alongside you as we explore things together. I know it can be extremely nerve-wracking to reach out, but I am here to listen and help you take the 1st step.
I work with young people aged 16 and over, as well as adults. I’ve supported clients through a wide range of challenges. These include depression, anxiety, grief and loss, low self-esteem, relationship and family issues, work-related stress, and experiences of emotional, financial, or sexual abuse.
I know how hard it can be to reach out when you’re struggling, but you don’t have to face things on your own. We can work together to help you move forward at a pace that feels right for you.
If you'd like to learn more or have any questions, please get in touch to arrange a 15-minute free telephone/online discovery call. I would love to hear from you!

I have many years of experience working as a volunteer counsellor and psychotherapist for a cancer charity, as well as supporting NHS staff as a counsellor and psychotherapist within an Occupational Health and Wellbeing Service. I am currently working full-time in my private practice. Prior to counselling, my background was in Education, where I spent many years as a Primary School Teacher. My passion for mental health developed from there when I was working with children and adults to support their mental health through mindfulness. In the past, I have enjoyed running mindfulness sessions for adults and children.
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.
