About me
Hi, I’m Mica.
Are you struggling to feel heard and understood by those around you? Have you been struggling with your confidence? Do you feel like you just want to talk to someone without them sharing their own opinions and telling you what to do? This is exactly what I can provide for you.
I am a BACP-registered, qualified Person-Centred therapist. This means you are the expert on your life. I am not here to tell you what to do or how to live your life but I am here to be a supportive and non-judgemental listener.
Opening up about your feelings and difficulties can be extremely daunting, but I will provide a safe, and empowering space where you can talk freely and discuss anything that may be troubling you. Through reflective practice and relaxed conversations, we will work together to improve your mental wellbeing, self worth and your overall confidence, ultimately making it easier to cope in difficult situations.
As a couple's counsellor, I still provide a supportive and non-judgemental space. Together, we will work on improving communication between you and your partner and learn how to listen and understand each other better. It is a collaborative journey to help you, the couple, learn how to reconnect and gain confidence in yourselves individually and as a couple.
Training, qualifications & experience
I qualified as a Person-Centred therapist in 2023 and have been working in private practice alongside my regular job working as a Student Wellbeing Officer in college where I support students aged 16-19 with managing their mental and physical wellbeing.
I have also recently completed 50hrs of CPD in Couples Counselling and I am now open to seeing couples for therapy.
I have worked most commonly with clients struggling with anxiety, self esteem, confidence and relationship issues such as infidelity.
I previously worked as a listening volunteer for the Samaritans for 6 years before working towards my Counselling qualification. I also have 5 years of experience working in a school with children aged 7-11. I have worked with a broad variety of clients and concerns. Most commonly, I have worked with adults and teenagers who are dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem, family issues and relationship issues.

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.

For face to face sessions I am currently working from Leeds City Centre. This is dependent on room availability as I share a room with other therapists.
I also work online via Google meets if you would prefer to have online sessions.
Further information
I am currently taking on new clients, both online and in person.
All sessions are 50 minutes long.
The first introductory session will allow us to explore what has brought you to counselling, what your expectations are and how I can help you. I can further explain more about the way I work before you decide whether or not you would like to go ahead. There is no pressure, it is important that you find a counsellor who is a good match for you.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and work in line with their Ethical Framework. I am also fully insured and I attend monthly supervision.
