About me
Hello. Are you struggling to cope with difficult change in your life? Do you have difficulty with relationships? Are you suffering with depression or anxiety, or feeling confused or angry? I am a BACP-registered Psychotherapeutic Counsellor with 8 years experience in private practice, helping people to feel better about themselves.
I work with an Integrative model of psychotherapy. I can offer you a safe, comfortable environment where you can feel free to explore your concerns. Working from an Integrative model means I can draw upon several theories, so by working together, we can create a unique formula that works for you to look at any aspect of your life. This can help you to gain a greater insight and understanding of yourself, and why you do the things you do and feel the way you do. With a better understanding of yourself, you can see more clearly your position in your world and be more in control.
Counselling is an opportunity to focus on your personal objectives and to try to understand where you may be experiencing difficulties. It can also help you recognise your strengths and to use them effectively to help you find greater satisfaction in life.
As counselling is a joint venture, it is important you find a counsellor who you can relate to. Please feel free to call me in confidence for further information without any obligation. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Alternatively, you are welcome to visit my website at www.libbyhill.co.uk

I can receive clients in my home address, IP1 6SS. Evening appointments available.

I hold full professional indemnity insurance.

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.
