About me

Hi, my name's Diane.   I'm a qualified Integrative counsellor and work with young people (13+) and adults of all ages.

There are no rules on what to bring to counseling. If something is having a negative impact on how you feel and live your life, then it's important and worth talking about.

I work with a wide range of clients on a wide range of issues such as anxiety, depression, abusive relationships, bereavement, childhood abuse and trauma.

Maybe the stress of everyday life feels like it's constantly weighing you down and you want help to enjoy life rather than just endure it?

Maybe anxiety or depression feel overwhelming and you can't seem to break free from them on your own?

Maybe something from your past is clouding your judgement and self-esteem and you want help exploring your past, so you can understand yourself and what's influenced your thoughts and behavior in the present.

Or you may have experienced something that's left you feeling shaken and vulnerable, and want to learn how to feel safe and trust yourself and others again?

You may know exactly what you want to work on, or simply know that something in your life needs to change and want a little help and support along the way.

I offer a safe, confidential space, free of judgement and full of kindness, where we'll work together and at your pace to explore the topics and events that are important to you. 


Areas of special interest include:

Working with victims of narcissistic abuse.

C-ptsd 

Young people (13+)

Those who care for young people - parenting/looking after teenagers can be challenging and often involves exploring your own triggers in depth to understand why it can be so difficult to stay calm and responsive when communicating with your teen, rather than infuriated and reactive.

Training, qualifications & experience

Qualified Integrative Counsellor Dip.Couns.  MBACP.

Experienced in working both online and face to face with adults and young people (13+) on a wide range of presenting and underlying issues

I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and am bound by their code of ethical conduct.

As a qualified counsellor I regard ongoing training and education essential for me to work ethically with my clients and offer safe, well researched and effective therapy.   

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.
