About me
Hello, I’m Hetty. I am based in Person-Centred Counselling, which means I believe every person has the capacity for growth, healing, and change when given the right conditions of empathy, understanding, and acceptance.
Everyone’s reasons for seeking therapy are different; we are all unique. My role is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences, gain clarity, and find your own way forward.
I have experience working with young people aged 16+ and adults, and I offer a gentle, collaborative approach that meets you where you are. My areas of special interest include parenting anxiety, general anxiety, neurodiversity, ADHD and dyslexia, school-based trauma, domestic violence, and a wide range of other life experiences and transitions.
I offer sessions face-to-face, online via a secure platform, or by phone, providing flexibility and accessibility to suit your needs.
Training, qualifications & experience
BACP Registered Member.
Currently completing my Level 5 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling with CPCAB.
I hold a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, Level 3 in Counselling Studies, and Level 2 in Counselling Skills.
I have 2 years’ experience working with Counselling for Social Change (C4SC), offering accessible, person-centred support.
Before counselling, I worked as a Primary Teacher and Early Years Practitioner, with therapeutic understanding of development and the pressures of teaching and parenting.
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.

I try to be as flexible as possible, as everyone has different working hours, but I keep my counselling hours to 4 a day so I can be fully present and at my best for each client.
Further information
As an integrative counsellor, my foundation is Person-Centred, meaning I believe that you are the expert in your own life. I offer a supportive, empathic space where you are listened to without judgement, allowing self-awareness and empowerment to emerge naturally.
I went on to study integrative practice, which enables me to draw on a range of theories, techniques, and mindsets. Working collaboratively, we’ll explore and determine an approach that best supports you, whether that involves understanding patterns from your past, exploring current difficulties, or visualising and working towards the future you want.
I offer sessions face-to-face, online via a secure platform, or by phone, providing flexibility to suit your needs. Sessions can be short or longer term, depending on what feels right for you.
