About me
Hello, you’ve just taken the first step to making a positive change to your life.
There are many reasons why life can feel difficult to cope with, causing unhappiness, anxiety and depression. Major life changes can be a struggle, such as parenting, relationship issues with family and friends, divorce, career changes, retirement, coping with illness or the death of a loved one.
Issues from the past sometimes hold us back from enjoying our lives and sometimes new issues make life difficult to manage. The recent Covid pandemic may have added further anxiety to an already stressful life.
Some turn to food or alcohol as a coping mechanism, to then find they are unable to manage their consumption or cope without it. Others simply function from one day to the next, feeling overwhelmed, not enjoying the moments in life they know they should.
Working together, counselling offers the opportunity to take control of life and work towards a happier future - enabling you to enjoy the things which are important to you.
Counselling is available face-to-face, following all the government guidelines, in a comfortable counselling room, with over two metres apart. Please refer to the Covid Policy on my website for safety measures. Counselling is also available by telephone and online.
To help you decide whether counselling is right for you, please phone me on 07941 809328 and I’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have.
Take care,
Lisa.

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.
