About me

I’m Chloe, a qualified person-centred counsellor.

I offer a calm, confidential, and welcoming space where you can talk openly about whatever is on your mind. You might be feeling overwhelmed, uncertain about your next steps, or simply in need of a place to pause and reflect. Wherever you are right now, you’ll be met with care, understanding, and a genuine willingness to listen.

A key part of my work is creating a trusting and supportive relationship where you can feel safe to be yourself. I believe that feeling truly heard, accepted, and valued can be deeply healing. I won’t offer quick fixes or tell you what to do; instead, I’ll walk alongside you as you explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at a pace that feels right for you. My hope is that you come to feel supported, understood, and more connected to yourself.

As a person-centred counsellor, our sessions are guided by what matters most to you. I work with empathy, openness, and respect, trusting in your ability to find your own way when you have the right support.

Alongside my person-centred approach, I also draw on training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and existential therapy. When it feels helpful, we might gently explore patterns in your thoughts or behaviours, or reflect on deeper questions around meaning, identity, and life’s challenges. These ideas are always offered with care and flexibility, and only if they feel useful to you.

Whether you’re coming with something specific or simply a sense that you’d like to understand yourself more deeply, I offer a warm, supportive space to begin.

If this feels like the right fit for you, you’re very welcome to get in touch.

Training, qualifications & experience

I hold a Higher Professional Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy, specialising in person-centred counselling, I have also completed additional training in CBT and Existential therapy.

My experience includes working with clients who have faced complex trauma, domestic abuse, sexual violence, and addiction, as well as those presenting with anger-related issues, depression, and anxiety. Alongside my therapeutic work, I am employed as an ISVA, supporting people who have experienced sexual violence, which has given me extensive insight into the realities of navigating the criminal justice system.

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
