About me
Are feelings of anxiety or depression impacting your relationships? Do you struggle with your identity, or feel you don't quite fit in with the people around you? In an ever changing world, are things you were sure of before becoming more uncertain?
As an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor, I work with clients who come with a range of common mental health issues such as; anxiety and depression, relationship issues, loss and grief, and self-esteem and confidence issues. My lived experience also enables me to offer counselling to individuals or couples who are going, or have been through, treatment for cancer.
My name is Dale and I offer in-person and online counselling to couples and individuals in the areas of Southampton, Winchester and Eastleigh. I am qualified and registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).
The therapeutic relationship between counsellor and client is one of the key components in the counselling process. Much of my training focused on building that connection with you, enabling you to safely explore your issues at your own pace, knowing that I will listen with understanding, and without judgement.

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.
