About me

Hello I'm Grace!

Are you finding it difficult to navigate challenges in your life? I offer a safe, supportive space where we can explore what you're experiencing and work together to help you discover your own answers-whether that leads to acceptance, peace, or change. I believe in a collaborative approach that fosters liberation and empowers you to shape your present and future.

I provide a warm, welcoming space where we can explore whatever is on your mind. Taking the first step towards counselling is a powerful decision, one that opens the door to healing, personal growth, and a deeper understanding of who you are.​

I have extensive experience in working with adults, children and young people with neurodiversity, and supporting them through a range of challenges. I specialise in working with parents of children who have SEN. 

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist with a Master's in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. 

I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. I work within the BACP ethical framework and have professional supervision once a month.

I have experience of working with a range of needs including; neurodiversity, ADHD and Autism, attachment styles, relationships, trauma, and anxiety.

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.

Further information

My approach is relational and integrative, which means you will always be at the centre of our work together. I’ll listen deeply, and together, we’ll find the best ways to support your unique needs and goals. I use a blend of therapeutic techniques including compassion focused therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and creative tools to help you navigate whatever challenges you’re facing, ensuring the approach fits what feels most right for you.

Throughout this journey, I’ll be there to walk alongside you with patience, respect, and care. If we ever need to gently explore your past to understand how it impacts your present, we’ll take it at a pace that feels comfortable for you. I believe you already hold the answers to the questions you ask. My role is to guide and support you through the process of discovering them. A strong therapeutic relationship is essential in helping you feel safe enough to explore the places within yourself that need attention and care.

Above all, I’m committed to creating a safe, empathetic, and non-judgemental space where you can be your true self. Together, we’ll work through your challenges with kindness and understanding, and I’ll be here to support you every step of the way.

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.
