About me
Welcome to Calming Minds Counselling,
I have extensive experience in mental ill health, addiction, self-harm, grief/loss, autism and relationships, I have worked with diverse individuals facing a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and self-esteem issues. My approach is person-centred, and evidence-based.
Every individual is unique, and I tailor my therapeutic techniques to meet the specific needs of my clients. Whether you are dealing with overwhelming emotions, a significant life transition, or seeking deeper self-understanding, my practice provides the necessary support and guidance.
Sessions are designed to be collaborative and empowering, ensuring that you feel heard, validated, and supported throughout the process.
Counselling is a powerful tool for self-discovery, healing, and growth. Whichever it might be for you, I am here to guide and empower you on your journey towards a more balanced and fulfilling life.

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.
