About me
Hello my name is Janet, I am a qualified person-centred counsellor and am registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I am based in Peacehaven and offer therapy to local areas. Taking this first step to counselling can be difficult at first and I appreciate finding the right counsellor for you is important. There can be times in our lives when we feel overwhelmed or distressed we need some help and support. By exploring your feelings and life experiences, you will be able to gain insight and understanding, enabling you to heal and decide what is right for you.
I offer a safe, confidential space where I am a warm, friendly, non-judgemental therapist to you. In that space we can work through together, building a trusting relationship to address the issues that have bought you to counselling.
By being alongside you and allowing you to talk and go at your own pace, I can help you to explore and understand your feelings. I believe that each of us has the ability to heal, grow and become more self-assured. I will not judge or decide what is best for you, my belief is that you are the expert on yourself.

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.
