About me

Hello, I'm Lizzy, welcome to my counselling directory page. Here you can find out about me and the way I practice, as well as my qualifications and experience. 

I practice Person Centred Counselling. This is a type of talking therapy that places you, the client, at the heart of the counselling process. I work hard to create a safe, non-judgemental and empathetic environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings freely.​ I hope to provide a space where you feel heard and held in the counselling process. I work with adults and young people from secondary age, and have extensive experience working with mental health.

No matter whether you are facing specific challenges or seeking general support, I would love to hear from you and see how I could provide a space to explore this.

Training, qualifications & experience

I qualified as a counsellor in 2019, with a Masters in Clinical Counselling from the University of Chester. I am a registered member of The British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). 

I also hold a Level 2 diploma in Counselling Skills and Concepts and a Level 2 diploma in Mental Health Awareness. I have had extensive safeguarding training and hold an enhanced DBS. 

I regularly undertake CPD to further expand my knowledge and expertise. 

Prior to my counselling training I worked pastorally in schools supporting students who wanted support with their mental health or neurodiversity. 

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

Key details

DBS check info

In England and Wales, the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS, formerly known as CRB) carry out criminal records checks for individuals working with vulnerable groups, such as children. To find out more, visit gov.uk , or contact this professional directly

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
