About me

Welcome to The Quiet Kit.

I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I work in line with the BACP Ethical Framework, ensuring that your wellbeing, safety, and confidentiality are upheld at all times.

I understand that taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting. At The Quiet Kit, I aim to offer a safe, confidential, and professional space that is also compassionate, supportive, and empowering. I work collaboratively with you, at your own pace, to support improved wellbeing, mental health, and overall quality of life.

Training, qualifications & experience

  • Level 4 Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy
  • Registered Member of the BACP
  • Trauma-Informed Coach

My counselling journey grew from working within charitable organisations supporting individuals facing life challenges, health changes and disabilities. This led to further work with people experiencing domestic abuse, as well as roles in mentoring and youth work. Through these experiences, I have worked with people of all ages, supporting them to cope with and take steps through difficult and traumatic experiences.

Alongside my private practice, I volunteer as a counsellor with The Elm Foundation.

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.

What Is Integrative Counselling?

Integrative counselling is a flexible approach that draws on different therapeutic models to meet your individual needs. Rather than using a one size fits all method, I integrate approaches such as person-centred, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioural techniques, depending on what feels most helpful for you. This allows therapy to be tailored specifically to your experiences, goals, and pace.

My first session
Free 15-Minute Consultation

If you’re unsure whether therapy is right for you, I offer a free 15-minute consultation. This is usually carried out over the telephone and gives us an opportunity to explore what you would like to gain from therapy and for you to ask any questions you may have.

You can book a consultation by emailing me

Please feel free to get in touch. 

Assessment Session

If you feel ready to begin counselling, you can book an assessment session. This is a 60-minute session, available either by telephone or in person. During this session, we will explore your main concerns, your background, and what you hope to gain from therapy, so we can identify the most appropriate way forward for you.

For more information or to book your free 15-minute consultation, email me.

Key details

DBS check

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.
