About me
Hello, I'm Dr Eileen Ward, I am a motivated chartered counselling psychologist who offers a confidential, judgment-free environment where individuals can process their thoughts and feelings.
Whatever the cause of your current position (divorce, grief, stress, depression, anxiety or relationship problems), talking therapy can help.
I have over 20 years experience in helping others develop emotional intelligence, mental wellbeing and resilience. Using an integrative approach, I draw on a range of therapeutic models to meet your needs and match your pace. Working with a person centre approach, I use cognitive behavioural therapy, compassion focused therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, solution-focused therapy, psychodynamic and systemic theories.
I have helped clients with a wide range of complex psychological needs within the NHS and private practice. In addition, my earlier career in business coaching is useful when supporting others dealing with work-related stresses and personal development.
Let's get started.
Research indicates that the therapeutic relationship is an important element of therapy, therefore your choice of therapist is a significant part of the process. If you are unsure or feel apprehensive about starting therapy, you are welcome to call for a free telephone consultation before making your selection, I will be happy to answer any questions you have.
I offer both short and long term therapy to individuals and couples.

Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
British Psychological Society
The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
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.
