About me
Hi I'm Becca (she/her)! I am a qualified integrative counsellor, but I’m heavily rooted in person-centred counselling. I can integrate various concepts if they are best suited to your needs, such as CBT, but I strongly believe that our relationship is at the heart of our work. It’s important that we are a good fit, like any other relationship, for you to feel safe, heard and understood. I understand that the vulnerability of counselling can be daunting and uncomfortable. Therefore, by building trust and security in our relationship, for it to feel safe enough to be vulnerable is important to me. It’s your space and I want you to feel you can get what you need from it.
Training, qualifications & experience
I work with and welcome a variety of clients and backgrounds, but I specialise in working with young adults and the LGBTQ+ community. As a queer counsellor, I understand the importance of having a space that is judgement free, where you don’t have to explain your queerness and can simply be yourself with someone who ‘get’s it’. During our sessions I provide a warm, non-judgmental, and open space, where each session is yours and you can bring whatever feels useful for you. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, overwhelm, stress, relationship issues, gender exploration, low self-esteem etc, together we can explore and untangle what is going on for you, deepen your understanding of yourself, and begin to figure out ways to move forward, that feel right for you.
I have two years of experience working as a counsellor for a LGBTQ+ agency, where I have worked with a variety of struggles and backgrounds. I have also worked on a mental health crisis line, offering support and comfort to those in times of mental health crisis. I hold a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a BSc (hons) Psychology degree (BPS Acred). I am a current accredited member of National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and hold current professional insurance

Further information
In life it is common to wear various marks in order to feel accepted. However, you may find these are not true to yourself, and therefore are perhaps causing you distress? My intention is to build trust and security in our relationship, so that when you feel safe enough, your outer mask can slowly begin to slip, and you can begin exploring your true self. With that can come acceptance and liberation to live, grow, and develop as the true you.
If you feel we could be a good fit, please visit my website for more info or drop me an email/text. I encourage you to come as you are and I will meet you there and hear your story.
