About me
Hi, I’m Beth, a qualified eclectic and trauma-informed counsellor and psychotherapist, passionate about creating a therapeutic experience as unique as each person I work with. I understand that no two people’s experiences or needs are the same, which is why I tailor my approach to meet you where you are. Whether you're navigating past trauma, relationship difficulties, self esteem issues, family issues or seeking personal growth, I’m here to offer support that aligns with your journey.
I have extensive experience helping clients who have faced emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, as well as those affected by narcissism, gaslighting, and the confusion that often accompanies these toxic dynamics. I also work with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, and self-discovery, offering a compassionate and non-judgmental space where all emotions are welcome.
As someone who works extensively with LGBTQI+ clients, I understand the unique challenges that can arise from identity and relationships in this context. I offer a safe, inclusive space where you can feel heard and understood, regardless of your background or experiences.
I also have extensive personal and professional experience with ADHD and have 25 years experience in working with life changing conditions like kidney disease leading to a life on dialysis.
If you’re feeling stuck in harmful patterns or struggling with doubts about your relationships, it’s completely normal to feel overwhelmed. I have both professional experience and personal insight, into the impact of childhood trauma, including sexual, physical, emotional, and narcissistic abuse. I understand all too well the profound physical and emotional harm these experiences can cause. Sadly, it's all too common for victims to internalize feelings of blame and shame, even though they bear no responsibility for the abuse they’ve endured. I’m here to help you explore these feelings and find the clarity and strength you need to move forward. Therapy can feel like a daunting step, but it can also be a transformative one. If you believe I could be the right fit to support you, please reach out. Together, we can work towards healing and creating lasting change in your life.

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.
