About me
Hi, I’m Ferne, a BACP and NCPS Accredited integrative Psychotherapist. I offer both face to face and online work. I work with children, young people and adults.
I work with individuals to help them explore their feelings, overcome challenges, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves. My approach combines a range of therapeutic techniques, allowing us to tailor the process to what works best for you. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or something else, I’m here to listen and support you in a safe, non-judgmental space.
I have been working with adults, children and young people for five years, helping them navigate the impact of past attachments, experiences, and trauma. I help people to understand how the past shapes the present and find closure where needed. However, therapy doesn’t have to focus on the past I also work in a solution-focused way, setting goals to make progress.
I understand how difficult it is to reach out and be vulnerable, especially with a stranger. Which is why one of my main focuses is to build and maintain a great therapeutic relationship with my clients. I know the importance of them feeling safe and comfortable around me to be able to do the work.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have 5 years experience practising Psychotherapy in a range of settings, including schools, charities, online platforms and private practice.
I specialise working with individuals with ASD/ADHD, parents of children who are neurodiverse, and individuals who have experienced trauma. I also am a part of the ASD/ADHD community.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
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.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.

Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
I am also a step mum, and have seen a huge gap in the market for step parents to be able to receive therapy from someone who understands the dynamics and struggles at play.
