About me
If you’ve made it this far and found yourself reading my advert, I’m going to gently guess that something inside you is saying, “something needs to change".
I want to acknowledge just how hard this part can be - the scrolling, the searching, the overwhelm of trying to find a therapist who just gets it.
If you’ve stayed with me this far, I’ve got a feeling we might get along.
Hi, I’m Grace.
Person-centred Counsellor and Psychotherapist, and someone who understands what it’s like to carry heavy experiences and knows what it’s like to choose healing and growth.
I’m a late-diagnosed autistic and ADHD cis woman in my (almost late) 20s, and I know first-hand how powerful (and messy, and beautiful) the work of unlearning can be.
I work with adults navigating all kinds of life experiences - whether it’s stress, anxiety, burnout, feeling overwhelmed or stuck, or simply wondering: “Why do I feel like this?”
Sometimes the weight we carry is loud and obvious, other times it hides in the background - in our habits, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or fear of letting others down.
Together, in therapy, we will gently explore what’s been shaping your inner world - from old expectations you’ve outgrown, to patterns that no longer serve you.
I offer online and phone therapy, so our sessions can happen wherever you feel most comfortable- on your sofa, curled up in bed, or from your favourite chair. Just a cuppa, a calm space, and real, human connection. No rushing, no pressure - just time that’s completely yours.
In therapy, I’ll walk alongside you as you reconnect with your resilience, soften into your truth, and start embracing your inner magic - the parts of you that were never gone, just tucked away, quietly waiting to be found.
If you’re ready to begin untangling what’s been weighing you down, and feel more like you, I’d love to hear from you.

Training, qualifications & experience
My journey into becoming a counsellor wasn’t a straightforward one. Like many people, I followed the expected path - heading to university straight after college because it felt like what I was “supposed” to do. I moved far from home and soon realised it wasn’t right for me, leaving by Christmas and spending the next few years working in hospitality, retail, property, and sales.
Although those roles gave me valuable life experience and people skills, something still felt missing. I decided to explore counselling by completing a Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills, and that’s where I re-discovered my passion. From there, I returned to study, completing a BSc (Hons) in Psychology with Counselling with The Open University, which allowed me to balance real life, work, and study.
I then went on to gain a MSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Keele University, during which I worked across a variety of placements, supporting adults through charities, GP surgeries (within the NHS), and remote settings. Since qualifying, I’ve also gained experience counselling children and young people in both school and community settings, and I’ve completed a Diploma in Counselling Children and Young People to deepen this work.
Alongside my practice, I now work as a Lecturer in Counselling at Birmingham City University, and I’m a registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Continuing professional development is very important to me; I regularly attend workshops, conferences, and online training to keep learning and refining my practice.
In my private practice, I work with adults online, drawing on my varied experience to offer a grounded, flexible, and empathetic approach. Having worked with such a wide range of people and settings, I understand how life’s early pressures, expectations, and experiences can shape who we become and I’m passionate about helping clients reconnect with themselves, find clarity, and build a stronger sense of self.
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.

Additional information
Choosing a therapist that is right for you is a very important decision, that is why I offer a free introductory call. This casual yet meaningful encounter is an opportunity for us to get to know one another, discuss your needs, and explore how I can support you on your path to healing and growth. This no obligation call is also your chance to ask any questions and decide if you feel I am the right therapist for you.
