About me
Hello and welcome,
Are you weighed down by anxiety?
Are you full of self-doubt or is your inner critic constantly giving you a hard time?
My name is Kirsty and I help women with anxiety or self-esteem issues so that they can lead a happier and calmer life.
You don't have to cope on your own. This could be the first step towards feeling happier, feeling clearer and an opportunity to reconnect to the real you - the one that feels calm and confident.
Therapy gives you the time and space to explore your thoughts and feelings; the things that might be holding you back and it enables you to make changes or positive choices that will improve your emotional wellbeing. With my support.
Our work together will be full of empathy, thought-provoking questions, curiosity, support and tools.
I work with 18+ clients on a short to long-term basis and sessions are weekly or fortnightly either in Ealing Broadway or Boston Manor.
Ready to start?
Book a free 20 minute phone consultation to see if we are the right fit - no pressure, just a safe space to explore what you need. You deserve support that truly understands you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully qualified counsellor and registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society) and I adhere by their Framework for Good Practice and Ethics.
I hold a BA (Hons) degree in Person-Centred Counselling from the University of Middlesex and a Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling from the Metanoia Institute in London.
I am a qualified Mental Health Assessor through Metanoia Institute.
I have been working with clients since 2012. Previously to that I worked creatively in Media.
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.
