About me
Hello, my name is Davina, and thank you for taking the time to view my profile. I am the founder of Time in Counselling, and I am here to support your healing process, helping you move from where you are now to where you want to be.
I have a deep commitment to working with women from the BME community, specialising in issues such as childhood abuse, sexual abuse, trauma-related concerns, and relationship difficulties. I understand the intricate roles that culture, race, gender, ethnicity, and spirituality play in an individual's life. While I believe that knowledge is crucial in helping others, I also value the transparency that comes from first-hand experiences. It is through these experiences that true connections can blossom.
Working interculturally allows me to gain a deeper understanding of your subjective experiences and how they specifically relate to you, fostering an authentic holistic healing process. It’s time to take off that 'superwoman mask,' put your load down, and remove all labels. Set some time aside for yourself; it’s time to take some Time In!

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.
