About me
Hi I'm Lianne, a qualified, BACP registered person centered and trauma informed counsellor offering short and long term counselling in person and online for anyone aged 16+. I welcome clients from all walks of life who may not feel comfortable or accepted in life and perhaps in conventional therapy services.
I believe that counselling/therapy is about connection, difficult feelings, humour at times and everything and anything else in between. I am dedicated, friendly, empathic and caring in the therapy room and although the therapy process differs for everyone, my focus is to help you feel comfortable, heard, seen and safe within your therapeutic journey, and I encourage you to explore the emotions and feelings that life experiences have created and that feel painful or uncomfortable to be with, be they exploring boundaries, talking about abuse or identity, finding your goals and passions in life or challenging yourself and finding your voice; all explored in a non-judgmental, and grounded space where our working relationship can flourish and where you, as the client are the expert in your life. Each session is led by you and I encourage you to use your sessions with me in whatever way you feel you need.
All parts of you are welcome.
I work and have worked with a variety of issues such as anxiety and depression, family/relationship issues, stress, ND clients and clients who have been through trauma, everyday worries, suicidal ideation, self-harm, LGBTQIA+ issues, shame, guilt, low self-esteem and spirituality.
Other relative experience that I have includes working in the health and social sector with people with learning and physical disabilities for 10 years, including autism, non verbal communication and ADHD. I have also worked within an LGBTQIA+ counselling charity in London and I have lived experience of the issues that can arise concerning your mental wellbeing when belonging in this community. I am kink aware too.
Where appropriate, I may incorporate some mindfulness techniques into our sessions to help ease any unsettling feelings and also include tuning into your body to see if these feelings are sitting anywhere that you may not have been aware. I may also include some clarity and understanding in relation to what happens with the body and mind when it comes to experiencing mental health conditions.
In the therapy room I have a number of items from nature and a few crystals that I encourage you to choose and handle during sessions if you wish or if you have your own then please bring it along with you.
I provide therapy in two different settings, in a designated talking therapy room with sound proofing from The WOW Clinic or The Apollo Practice and also sat in nature at a stables with horses and a gentle flowing stream which is known as Ecotherapy or Outdoor therapy.
Last but not least, I am a lover of mother nature and the alternative side of life, myself having a few tattoos, piercings and dreadlocks! You may wonder why I mention this? The reason is because when I was training to be a counsellor I didn't really feel that there were many counsellors who looked like me or liked similar things and this made the feeling of "other" feel all too real and slightly isolating and so I wanted to create a space where clients can relate to someone not only emotionally but within their style and personal preferences.

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.
