About me
Hi there and thanks for viewing my profile.
Hi I’m Pam and I’m a fully qualified, BACP registered counselor, with experience working in the NHS, Counseling charities, and private practice. My interest into the mind first began as a young adult. I discovered how profound the difficulties associated with mental health can be, not to mention the stigma that can surround asking for help. I often found myself being the person that family and friends came to, when they were in need of a listening ear and thats when I started asking myself these questions: Why do we do the things we do? What influences our behaviours? How do we control our behaviours and feelings? How do we cope in certain situations? How do our feelings affect our lives?
What makes us who we are? With these questions fresh in my mind, i sought out a course that would help me gain a better understanding of the mind and how to help others with similar questions.
We all deserve peace of mind, but sometimes things happen that can cause disharmony. When this is the case often all we need to get back on track is a safe place to share and someone willing to listen. Here at Peace Of Mind Counselling, I offer a high quality, safe, none judgemental service, for people from all walks of life.
If you live in Redditch, or the surrounding areas and deal with any of the following you might benefit from my service:
Anxiety
Depression
Personality disorders
Grief
PTSD
Relationship difficulties
Substance abuse
Adjustment to a physical diagnosis
And much more.
It’s daunting taking those first steps to get help but rest assured, you will be welcomed with a smile and a friendly person centred approach, to help you feel as comfortable as you can be. So allow me to help you on a journey to find your own peace of mind!
You can visit my website at peaceofmindtoday.co.uk for more information.

Member organisations
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
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
