About me
Hi, I'm Geordie, and I'm an integrative therapist and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Therapy with me is collaborative, respectful and flexible, either online or in person in South West London/Surrey.
I offer both short-term and open-ended therapy, where you can explore what's going on for you.
It can be hard to reach out for support, especially if you're used to keeping things together for everyone else, and I bring a broad range of lived experience to my work, which helps me connect with and validate people from all walks of life.
As a parent, adoptee, creative practitioner and someone who understands neurodivergence, I offer a grounded and compassionate space where you can feel seen and heard.
I’ve supported clients through identity issues, life transitions, anxiety, relationships, and the unique pressures that can come with being a single parent, a musician, or someone navigating the world differently. No issue is too big or too small to explore; what matters is that it matters to you.
Let's talk about how I can support you. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, awarded by the Counselling & Psychotherapy Awarding Body, graduating in 2024.
During my training, I completed a 20-month placement at The Awareness Centre in London, providing face-to-face and online support to clients as part of an NHS-contracted agency.
I have additional training in Trans Awareness, working with Adult Adoptees, and a certificate in Working with Autistic and ADHD clients.
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.

Further information
I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, tailoring our work to suit your needs. I often work with clients navigating anxiety, low mood, identity issues, relationship challenges, trauma and neurodiversity (including ADHD and autism). My background is from the creative retail industries and music, plus I have a special interest in working with adult adoptees, those exploring gender or life transitions, and people trying to make sense of who they are in a complicated world.
