About me
Hello, I’m Becki, and I believe counselling should be a space where you can be yourself, free from judgement or pressure.
As an Integrative Counsellor and Meditation Practitioner, I offer therapy in a flexible and collaborative way. Rather than working rigidly within one approach, I draw from a range of approaches to meet your individual needs. Therapy does not always have to mean sitting face-to-face and talking; if it feels helpful, our sessions can include creative work, mindful or meditative exercises, or time spent in nature. Together, we can shape your sessions to reflect you, rather than expecting you to adapt to fit therapy.
With over 10 years’ experience supporting people who are neurodiverse, my aim is to create a counselling space that is accessible, compassionate and inclusive. My background and experience and passion naturally informs my work, helping me to build relationships where people feel understood, accepted, and valued for who they are.
If I sound like I could be the right Counsellor for you, please feel free to reach out to arrange a free 15-minute introductory call.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
