About me
Welcome.
My name is Chloe and I would like to support you in your journey to living a more fulfilled life. I believe that therapy can allow us the time and space to help reflect and understand ourselves better. This in turn helps us to facilitate personal growth, limit internal conflict and reduce anxiety.
Research has shown that the basis for a successful outcome in therapy is a good therapeutic relationship, and so building a strong working alliance is something I prioritise in sessions. Working collaboratively, I aim to help you reflect on what is coming up for you in our sessions. We are often carrying beliefs about ourselves from childhood, which can be impacting our happiness in the present. Most of us rely on defence mechanisms to temporarily manage difficult emotions. The aim is to help you reflect on these unhelpful coping strategies that no longer serve you and to support you in navigating new healthy ways of enjoying life and relationships.
As an integrative therapist, I am of the belief that there is no single approach to therapy that works for everyone. I draw on different modalities such as psychodynamic theories, TA & Person Centered therapy to help you look at your life through a different lens. I am particularly interested in exploring how your early relationships & experiences have shaped your understanding of present relationships with yourself and others.

Training, qualifications & experience
I have an Advanced Postgraduate Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling. I’m a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work within their ethical framework.
I have extensive experience in working for low cost services.
I regularly attend courses and seminars to broaden my knowledge and understanding of relevant topics.
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.
