About me

Hello, I’m Lottie, an Integrative Counsellor with over eight years of experience supporting people through a wide range of life’s challenges. My aim is to offer a calm, compassionate space where you can feel safe, comfortable, heard, and accepted exactly as you are.

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, confusing, or difficult to navigate alone. Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship difficulties, loss, trauma, low self-esteem, or simply feeling stuck, I will walk alongside you at a pace that feels right for you.

As an integrative counsellor, I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches to tailor our work to your individual needs. I believe that many of our thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and relationship patterns can often be better understood by exploring our early experiences and childhood relationships. By making sense of where these patterns began, we can create greater understanding, healing, and change in the present.

I work with individuals aged 16 and over, offering sessions both in person from Glow Holistic Well-Being and online.

There is no expectation of how therapy should look. For some, it is simply a space to talk and feel heard. For others, it may involve exploring emotions creatively, developing self-awareness, learning coping strategies, understanding patterns, or working through difficult experiences. Together, we can find an approach that feels right for you.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but you don’t need to have everything figured out before you begin. Please just come as you are— I’ll be here to welcome you with a hot drink, a listening ear, and a space that is yours.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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
