About me

Hello, it’s lovely to meet you.

I’m a BACP-registered integrative psychotherapist, providing a safe, confidential space where you can feel heard, supported, and understood. I work with people aged 11 and over, offering counselling both in person in Kendal and online.

My approach is trauma-informed and integrative, drawing on person-centred therapy, CBT, and mindfulness-based techniques. Together, we’ll make sense of what’s happening and explore ways to navigate day-to-day life that feel manageable and right for you.

I work with a wide range of challenges, including:

  • Anxiety and stress
  • Low mood and grief
  • Relationship difficulties
  • Life transitions and feeling stuck
  • Neurodiversity, ADHD, masking, and late diagnosis experiences
  • Gender, Relationship, and Sexual Diversity (GRSD)

I have a particular interest in supporting neurodiverse clients, including women with ADHD, helping you explore your identity, reflect on experiences, and work with your strengths.

I also hold a CORST Level 5 Certificate in Psychosexual Therapy, offering specialist support for women and those assigned female at birth around intimacy, sexual functioning, desire, and the impact of past experiences.

If you’re wondering whether therapy could help, please reach out for a free consultation, and we can see if we’re a good fit.

Look forward to hearing from you,
Genevieve

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.

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
