About me

Welcome and thank you for taking the time to read my profile. 

My name is Magna.  I have been a therapist for over 12 years.  I have helped many clients change their thinking and heal emotionally so they can become who they want to be. I offer a compassionate space for clients to work through difficult thoughts and feelings to reclaim their lives and live life to the full. I have learned that we need to talk about our pain to heal. I know the importance of telling our story, feeling understood, and healing old wounds. I am passionate about the stories my clients bring and believe that hearing their stories and the impact of their story is a powerful pathway to healing.

I love helping people unlock the truth about themselves, their lives, their hopes and dreams. Being a therapist has taught me we never stop needing to connect to ourselves and others.   The purpose of my work is to support emotional well-being, nurture hope, compassion and healing.

I have extensive experience in working with addictions, sexual abuse, trauma, disordered eating, anxiety and depression.  I help end of life clients through the many stages of grieving their lives, helping them die well.  I have helped mothers and fathers who have experienced baby and infant loss.  I have worked with parents that have lost children, and children that have lost their parents.  I have a culturally diverse client base and love working with people from all walks of live.  I also have a culturally diverse practice and have a great affinity to help people from all walks of life.

What is Counselling Psychotherapy

Counselling Psychotherapy is helpful to identify thought processes and feelings and how they influence the here and the now.  It offers individuals the support and space to help figure out helpful and healthy ways to manage life and to make changes that are sustainable.

What is Trauma Counselling

Trauma Counselling focusses on the impact of the trauma and the effects it has had on a persons life.  It supports individuals to help manage panic attacks, PTSD, depression, anxiety to reclaim their lives and to heal.

How I work

I have a Person Centred and Psychotherapy back ground, with specialist Trauma training.  I offer a integrative way of working where I tailor the work to best suit your needs as I  believe we are all different.

I offer both short and long term therapy, once or twice a week, depending on your need.

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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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).

Key details

Wheelchair user access
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.
