About me
Hello, I’m Judith, an experienced & qualified Counsellor and a Registered Nurse. My mission here is to offer you a safe and confidential space in which we can explore together what brings you to Counselling.
I have experience of working in the NHS as a Registered Nurse for over 30 years, in 2010 I gained an MSc in Counselling Psychology. My experience as a Counsellor began in 2008 where I spent eight years working in a NHS Staff Support Service, then in 2016 I made the decision to move into Private Practice; Time Counselling Practice began.
Why Counselling
My decision to train as a Counsellor was driven by my nursing background. Working as a Registered Nurse in a busy NHS organisation. I noticed how there was a need to understand the relationship between how we view our health and how that is linked with our sense of who we are. Additionally, I have first hand experience of working in a large organisation and understand the stresses and the pressures that can bring to the staff across the workplace. It seemed a natural progression for me to embark on my Counsellor training in a mission to be able to help others gain their own ‘life toolbox’, to feel more able and equipped to embrace life’s challenges and questions.
How does that view fit with you? Do you believe that through gaining an understanding around your life experiences, exploring what they might mean to you on an individual level, is a move to help you understand the reasons why you might be seeking counselling?
My aim here at Time Counselling Practice is to offer you a safe and confidential space where you feel understood and heard. We will work together to explore some of your life challenges that may be stopping you from being the person you believe you can be.

Member organisations
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.
