About me

Hello, my name is Danielle, and I am a Person Centred Counsellor.

I offer a collaborative and supportive relationship, where you can explore what worries, issues, thoughts and feelings you are experiencing. I offer a confidential space, where you will be listened to with empathy and warmth.

I offer you a free 20 minute introductory call as I understand that taking the first step is a difficult process. This call will give you an opportunity to ask me any questions regarding the counselling process and help you decide if I am the right therapist for you. 

I have worked in the public sector for the last 18 years. This includes working in a drug and alcohol charity, supporting individuals with various Mental Health issues and I am currently supporting families within Children’s Services for Social Care.

I work with adults, suffering from a range of mental health issues, such as, addiction, anxiety, depression and stress which impact our relationships. I can help you explore where these difficulties originate from. By understanding how the past can impact the present this can offer the possibility of different choices and coping mechanisms. I understand how the body can react in times of trauma and I will work with the window of tolerance with you.   

I am very passionate about supporting parents whose children have been or are in the process of a diagnosis with Special Education Needs (SEN) such as ADHD, Autism and Dyslexia. This process can be lengthy and stressful for the whole family, and I will be here to support you.

I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BCAP) and as such, I follow their ethical framework, this includes having regular supervision. completing continued professional development (CPD) workshops throughout the year so I am better informed to support you. I hold an enhanced DBS and I am registered with the DBS update, I am also fully insured to practice.

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.

If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.
