About me
Hello, I'm Leah, thanks for stopping to have a read of my page. I am a qualified and registered counsellor here to help and support you through life's challenges which may be causing you to feel anxious or distressed, or leaving you feeling stuck and unsure what to do next. My approach is to work in a person-centred way, to offer empathy and authenticity to help you feel safe and accepted while you tell your own story. I will listen to you without judgment and offer you the time and space to talk about what is difficult. My aim is to support you while you explore what options you have for change and work alongside you to find solutions to your problems. I work from my own office space in Ellesmere Port or I also offer online or telephone sessions if you prefer.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a Master's degree in counselling and have completed further training in trauma and working online and by telephone. I regularly participate in professional development courses and workshops to keep up to date with current thinking and practice.
I have significant experience within the areas of grief and loss, of supporting people who are anxious or have low self-esteem and of helping people work through current issues or those stemming from childhood. By talking through your worries and having your thoughts and feelings heard and validated within a trusting therapeutic relationship, my aim is always to help you to heal and start living a more fulfilled 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.
