About me
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming...
Life isn't always straightforward. Perhaps anxiety is taking over, you're struggling with low mood, feeling overwhelmed, grieving someone you've lost, or finding yourself repeating the same difficult patterns in relationships. Maybe you've reached a point where you're simply tired of carrying everything on your own.
Whatever has brought you here, you don't have to face it alone.
I'm Becky, founder of Evolve Wellbeing and an Integrative Counsellor. I offer a warm, genuine and confidential space where you can talk openly without fear of judgement. Together we'll explore what's happening, make sense of your experiences, and work towards helping you feel more like yourself again.
Because every person is unique, I don't believe therapy should be "one size fits all". I tailor each session to your individual needs, drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches including Person-Centred Therapy, CBT, Transactional Analysis, Gestalt and Coaching where appropriate.
Who I work with:
I work with adults, teenagers (13+) and young adults experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including:
• Anxiety and panic
• Depression
• Stress and overwhelm
• Low confidence and self-esteem
• Bereavement and loss
• Relationship difficulties
• Childhood and adult trauma
• Emotional and domestic abuse
• Self-harm and suicidal thoughts
• Identity and LGBTQ+ issues
• Life transitions
• Neurodiversity
A special interest in neurodiversity
I have a particular interest in supporting neurodivergent individuals, parents of neurodivergent children, and those navigating neurodivergent relationships.
Whether you're exploring a diagnosis, living with autism or ADHD, or trying to better understand yourself or someone close to you, therapy can provide a space where you feel understood rather than judged.
Children and Young People
Alongside my private practice, I also work as a Bereavement Counsellor supporting children and young people who have experienced the death of someone important to them. This specialist work has given me extensive experience helping young people process grief, anxiety, emotional difficulties and life's many challenges.

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.

What to expect
Starting counselling can feel daunting. Many people tell me they worry about saying the wrong thing or not knowing where to begin.
Please don't worry.
You don't need to prepare anything beforehand or have everything figured out. We simply start wherever feels right for you, and we work together from there.
Counselling Setting
I currently offer a combination of remote / online and limited face-to-face appointments. Remote sessions are available via Zoom, WhatsApp video or telephone, while in-person sessions take place in a private and confidential setting in the Weymouth area.
As my practice continues to grow, I will soon be welcoming clients into a dedicated counselling room at my new premises.
My approach
Above all else, I believe the relationship between counsellor and client is what creates meaningful change.
My aim is to provide a space where you feel genuinely heard, accepted and supported. Sometimes therapy is about making sense of difficult experiences. Sometimes it's about learning practical strategies for change. Often it's a combination of both.
Whatever you're facing, we'll work together at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
