About me
Anxiety, depression, emotional distress, life's upheavels, bereavement are just some of the reasons causing emotional pain. As we move through life some of our past experiences can stay alive in our day to day and cause pain and distress. I believe everyone has the ability to find their way through tough times and heal and grow. I have worked with many different presenting issues in a sensitive and compassionate way. I am a person centred counsellor and will explore with you anything you bring. What that means, is it’s about you and how you got here. I believe everyone has the ability to find their way through tough times and heal and grow.
I have worked with many different presenting issues in a sensitive and compassionate way. These include anxiety, depression, bereavement, abuse – domestic and child – health concerns, relationship issues, life events.
I offer a safe, respectful, non-judgemental, confidential space to explore whatever it is that brings you here. I ensure we go at your pace. I believe you should retain autonomy over your experiences and ways forward. I believe everyone has an ability to grow and develop and I will stand with you as you start/continue that journey.
Training, qualifications & experience
My name is Rebecca. I studied Counselling and Psychotherapy at the University of Salford. I volunteer at Mind as a Counsellor. I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. This is the recognised body for Counselling. It means I practise to an ethical framework and standard.
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.

Further information
I will listen to you and accept you fully as you are, offering deep empathy to ensure you feel safe. This is a therapeutic space where you will be prized and invited to explore sometimes painful issues in a candid way. The therapeutic relationship facilitates the development of trust and enables new pathways to emerge from which you can find a different approach.
Counselling does not involve giving you advice or a diagnosis.
