About me
Hello, I’m Jill, an integrative counsellor offering a safe, supportive space where you can talk openly and feel truly heard.
I work with people facing many different challenges, including stress, anxiety, low mood, bereavement, relationship difficulties, confidence issues and life changes. My role is to listen with empathy and without judgment, helping you explore your thoughts and feelings and discover new ways forward.
How I work
As an integrative counsellor, I draw on person-centred, CBT, and solution-focused approaches, tailoring sessions to your individual needs. My aim is to help you build coping strategies, gain clarity, and feel more in control of your life.
Sessions are 50 minutes and available online or by phone. Together we'll work at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor with an MSc (Distinction) and registered membership of the BACP. My experience spans private practice, charities, universities, NHS services and online therapy, supporting people with a wide range of challenges. This breadth of work allows me to adapt counselling to each person’s individual needs.

- Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP)

Experience
I have worked across private practice, voluntary organisations, higher education, NHS placements and online platforms. These varied roles have equipped me to support people with a wide range of concerns, from day-to-day stresses to longer-term difficulties.
I also have specialist experience working with individuals and families adjusting after brain injury, and mentoring students with mental health challenges to help them manage pressures and achieve their goals.
Whatever you may be facing, I will bring empathy, care and understanding to our work together, helping you feel supported as you take the next step.
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.
