About me

Hi, my name is Jess, a qualified counsellor in Cumbria. I trained in the person centred approach, but also draw on aspects of Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT). Person centred counselling is a non-directive method of talking therapy where you can bring whatever thoughts and experiences that feel important to you. I will offer a gentle, warm and compassionate space for you to explore these confidentially. I cherish our individual experiences, our humanity and what it is to feel a whole range of feelings and honour those in their many forms. I’ve had my own experiences of counselling where I have been met with sensitivity, respect, empathy and acceptance; a life changing experience and value and attitude I carry closely when I work with my clients too.

Outside of counselling, I spend my time climbing, riding bikes, dog walking and immersing myself within the natural environment. I have spent most of my life that way, eventually training as an outdoor instructor and then as a climbing coach in my adult life. Its been invaluable for my wellbeing and I can offer walk and talk therapy in specific areas in Cumbria bringing together the value of talking and being in an open space, moving and connecting to the natural world.

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.
