About me
I offer warm, open support and guidance to help you with a wide range of issues including anxiety, low mood, stress, relationships, bereavement, alcohol and substance misuse.
My name is Patricia-Anne, and I am a pluralistic counsellor, supervisor and mindfulness teacher with over 20 years experience working in the public and charity sectors. I offer therapy sessions in person or online during the day or in the evening.
When we feel sad or anxious and life seems hard to get through, it helps to talk to someone about how we feel. Sometimes it is easier to talk to a counsellor who you can trust to be there for you and help you to find a sense of wellbeing and inner strength.
At the heart of my counselling is the belief that the client and therapist work in close collaboration on goals and tasks using a wide range of techniques and practices. This personal tailored service means that you discover what will help you best while being supported and guided. I offer a confidential space in which you will be listened to with empathy and non-judgment to help you find an improved sense of wellbeing and be empowered to make positive changes.
I also offer supervision to counsellors and trainee counsellors.

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.
