About me
When you embark on your journey it is nice to know who you are traveling with.
Hello I'm Lulu, I look forward to meeting you.
I have been training and working as a counsellor for more than 20 years and I love what I do: building connections, and relationships. Having the privilege of getting to know my clients, understand their internal worlds and journey by their sides.
One of the pleasures of being a therapist is to always be open to learning from life, and knowing that you will never know everything!
An adage that I try to live by is 'More Wise, Less Clever'.
I have lived most of my life in the Brighton area, by the sea, my favourite place to be, in constant motion, moving and changing, but always there, giving me a sense of perspective.
Start your journey now
- Short term solution focused
- Open-Ended for those who want a little more time or no set ending
- Particularly experienced in working with anxiety and depression
- Specialist training to work with clients who are/have experienced trauma
- I can work creatively with those clients that would like to try this. Working creatively can often help in accessing our unconscious or what is hidden from us.

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.
