About me
Welcome to my profile
My name is Heather and I trained as an Integrative counsellor with a CBT modality, I have also trained in EMDR therapy and accredited with NCPS, I may use elements of this in my work with you . I am a member of BACP and the NCPS, where I adhere to the ethical framework.
I offer short and long term therapy for children and adults with a variety of conditions, such as FND, Bereavement, Depression, and Anxiety. As your counsellor, I will provide a safe and confidential space to enable you to explore your thoughts and feelings, which I am aware that it can be a bit daunting, however I will be with you every step of the way, as you begin to understand and perhaps accept what is going on for you, and finding the courage to make the changes needed for a more fulfilling & happier life. I will tailor the therapy to suit the individual needs of my client, as everyone is unique - therefore, working together we can come up with a plan & develop coping strategies which will help you manage whatever is occurring in your life.

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.
