About me
Hi, I’m Corinna, a BACP Registered Integrative Counsellor.
I offer a warm, supportive and confidential space where you can talk openly about what is bringing you to therapy. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, trauma, emotional abuse or the impact of domestic abuse, you will be met with empathy, respect and understanding.
At times, life can feel overwhelming, leaving you feeling stuck, disconnected from yourself, or unsure of how to move forward. You may find yourself struggling with difficult emotions, stress, low confidence or the effects of things you have been through.
Reaching out for support can feel like a difficult step, and finding the right therapist is an important part of that process.
As an integrative counsellor, I draw on different approaches to suit your individual needs, recognising that no two people are the same. My approach is collaborative, allowing us to focus on what feels most important for you.
Therapy can offer an opportunity to slow things down, reflect, gain a deeper understanding of yourself, and reconnect with what matters to you. Together, we can explore difficult emotions, challenge self-critical thoughts and recognise patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
I offer face-to-face counselling from a private therapy room on Yarm High Street, alongside online and telephone sessions.
Practice Description
I work with adults experiencing a range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, trauma, loss, and life transitions.
A particular area of specialism is supporting survivors of domestic abuse. I understand the lasting impact abuse can have on confidence, identity, relationships, trust, and emotional wellbeing. Whether your experiences are recent or historic, therapy can provide a safe space to process what has happened, make sense of its impact, and begin moving forward at your own pace.
Alongside this, I support people who may be struggling with self-doubt, self-criticism, difficult emotions, or feeling disconnected from themselves. Therapy can help you develop greater self-awareness, strengthen self-compassion, and feel more confident in your choices and relationships.
First Session
I offer a free 15-minute introductory phone call, giving you the opportunity to ask questions about me and how I work, and discuss what you are looking for from counselling.
Starting therapy can feel daunting, so the first session is an opportunity to talk about what has brought you to therapy, what you would like support with and any questions you may have about the process.
We can discuss how counselling works, confidentiality and the counselling agreement. It is also a chance for you to decide whether you feel comfortable working with me as your therapist.
We can agree a regular day and time each week to support consistency. If your schedule varies, flexible appointment options can be discussed to find an arrangement that works for you.

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.
