About me
Hi I'm Louise, a Person Centred Counsellor working in a non-directive way, this allows you to use your session to explore whatever aspect of life is important to you; such as feelings of anxiety, relationship difficulties, bereavement, job-loss or perhaps you just would like to get to know yourself better.
A person centred approach allows us to work together at a pace that suits you in a non-judgemental, safe and confidential environment. We will work together to find your best way forwards.
I am a registered accredited member of the BACP and work to their ethical framework, ensuring high standards and evidence-based practice.
I have returned to offering face-to-face sessions, however continue to offer sessions via zoom for those clients who wish to work remotely.

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.
