About me
When life changes in an instant, it is completely natural to feel overwhelmed. You might be putting all your energy into just getting through the day, yet still feel like you are struggling to keep your head above water.
If this resonates with you, I want to welcome you to take a breath and step into a space built entirely for your healing.
My name is Imogen. I offer a compassionate, collaborative space where we can face life’s hardest moments together. You do not have to figure this out on your own. My goal as a counsellor is to help you process painful or complex emotions, helping you reconnect with your inner resilience and find a clear path forward.
I specialise in helping clients work through:
Mental Health & Well-being: Anxiety, depression, stress, and low motivation
Neurodivergence & Sensitivity: Autism and high sensitivity
Life Challenges: Trauma, major life changes, grief, and bereavement
Connections: Family and relationship issues
No matter how dark things feel right now, there is a way through. Let’s connect and map out the next steps together.
Training, qualifications & experience
My journey began four years ago working in psychiatric care, supporting individuals facing addiction and acute mental illness. It was there that I witnessed the astounding impact therapy can have when a person is truly heard. I learned that recovery begins with a safe, real relationship. Because of this, my approach centers entirely on what you need as an individual. By listening to your story without judgment, we can build the trust necessary to figure out what you need in the moment.
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.
