About me
I am a counsellor and Clinical Hypnotherapist based in Andover, Hampshire, working with individuals (18+ years) and couples.
I offer walking talking therapy, as well as face-to-face sessions in my garden therapy room. Zoom and phone sessions are also available, offering flexible options to suit your needs. Couples counselling is offered face to face.
Walking talking therapy creates a more relaxed feel to counselling, combining the healing benefits of nature with therapeutic conversation. During our sessions, we engage both the left and right sides of the brain, helping you process emotions and experiences with greater ease.
I am trained in Transactional Analysis (TA), a theory that explores how we communicate with others and ourselves, helping us to "look at the past, in the present, for a better future."
As a Clinical Hypnotherapist, I integrate hypnotherapy and counselling to create a holistic healing experience tailored to each client. This combined approach helps to address emotional wounds on a deeper level, promoting lasting change by working with both the conscious and subconscious mind.
I am passionate about creating a tailor-made therapy experience, ensuring that you feel heard, supported, and empowered throughout our work together.
If you would like to find out more about how I work, I offer a free 20-minute phone consultation on Thursday afternoons, which can be booked directly from my website: www.hope-counselling.uk.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Foundation Degree in Humanistic Counselling based on Transactional Analysis, equipping me with a deep understanding of human behaviour, relationships, and personal growth.
During my training, I worked as a volunteer counsellor at Andover Crisis Centre Domestic Abuse Refuge, providing support to individuals in crisis. I chose to continue in this role even after qualifying, as I strongly believe in making counselling accessible to those who need it most.
With over 10 years of experience in Emergency Care, I developed a deep passion for counselling while working in high-pressure environments. My time in the NHS, particularly as part of a specialist team supporting patients in domestic abuse relationships, reinforced my commitment to helping individuals navigate trauma and regain their sense of self. Since leaving the NHS, I have dedicated myself fully to my private practice, Hope Counselling since 2021.
I also offer couples counselling, having trained with Psychotherapist Jennie Miller in her Transactional Analysis-based model.
Recognising the profound impact hypnotherapy can have on the healing process, I went on to complete a Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy, allowing me to integrate hypnotherapy and counselling for a holistic approach to healing.
Through my work, I am committed to supporting individuals and couples in overcoming relationship trauma, rebuilding self-worth, and stepping into their personal power.
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.
