About me
Hello, my name is Olly, and I am a qualified Humanistic Counsellor. My approach is rooted in Person-Centred theory, which focuses on creating a supportive environment that fosters your personal growth and well-being.
In our sessions, I will aim to provide a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space. We will hope to build a trusting relationship in which you can explore your thoughts and feelings, past, present or future, facilitating a deeper awareness and understanding of your true self.
While my primary focus is on Person-Centred therapy, I also integrate elements from Existential and other Humanistic theories to enrich self-understanding and reflection. This allows for a more comprehensive exploration of your experiences and challenges.
I have experience counselling individuals facing a variety of issues and challenges. These include anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, neuro-diversity, substance abuse, sexual abuse, identity questioning and GSRD (Gender, Sexuality and Relationship Diversity) related challenges.
I conduct face-to-face sessions from private rooms in Portsmouth. Each session is 50 minutes long, on a weekly basis. The counselling is open-ended, allowing you to decide how long you wish to engage for.
My fee is £55.00 per session. I also offer an initial 20-minute phone session, free of charge, to discuss our suitability for working together and address any questions you may have.
I look forward to hearing from you.

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.
