About me
I work with a wide range of emotional challenges that people face in life from comfy, private counselling rooms in Lymm. A detailed list of which areas I work with can be found below or on my website www.jillabernethytherapy.com
With over 6 years experience within the counselling field, I am also a qualified supervisor for counselling students and professionals and offer a coaching and mentoring professional approach. On a voluntary basis, I run a supervision group for trainee and qualified counsellors for a charity based organisation in Lymm.
It is my priviledge to work with clients who are neurotypical and neurodiverse. I offer a safe and tailored space to your needs.
Prior to my counselling career i worked within HR as a CIPD HR professional / trainer. I pull on these skills as often I find that some psychoeducation can be a useful part of a clients journey.
I recognise that starting counselling may be a daunting prospect, so please do feel free to contact me in what ever way is comfortable for you should you like to know a little more about what to expect or to ask any questions about how counselling might help you.

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.
