About me
Hi, I'm Rhianna, I'm a qualified person-centred counsellor, registered with the BACP, with over 3 years experience providing help and support to people from all walks of life.
My counselling style is very person-centred, you will be the focus and I will support you with the issues you bring. I have been described as approachable, caring, considerate and easy to open up to. I hope you find this to be the case. I'm here to help you sort through the things that are difficult right now, and offer you a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgment.
The sessions will be guided by you and your needs. I will support you in meeting your goals. Together we can explore your experiences and feelings so you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself, where you want to go, and who you want to be.
I am a qualified person-centred counsellor, with training in psychotherapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I believe the most effective way to help is to adapt my approach to each individual to best suit their needs. I pull from all my training to incorporate techniques that will benefit you personally.
I have a breadth of experience working with bereavement, loss, change, depression, anxiety, stress and PTSD. I have a deep understanding of ADHD and can also help support those struggling, especially if you have recently been diagnosed as an adult. However, as we all know, life can be unpredictable and I am happy to work with anything you need to bring as things come and go.
I have a degree in Psychology and have then gone on to do a post-graduate diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Keele University. I have completed courses in CBT, Psychotherapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. In our first session together I will discuss what you want from counselling and what your goals are so that I can best adapt my approach to suit you.
With the cost of living crisis, I am happy to be flexible with my fee for sessions, so please use the £50 price as a guideline, if you need a concession I am happy to discuss this.

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.

Additional information
The fee for individual counselling is £50 per session (sessions are approximately 1 hour). If you are on a low income or experiencing financial difficulties then it may be possible to negotiate a reduced fee.
I offer a free 30 minute consultation for us to get to know more about each other. This is a perfect time for you to ask me any questions to ensure I feel like the right fit for you. In this 30 minutes, we will look through and discuss an agreement to work, where I will tell you more about my confidentiality policies and what you can expect from me. This lays out the boundaries of counselling to make everything clear and open from the start.
This is an opportunity for you to get to know me and decide if I am the right counsellor for you and if I offer what you are looking for.
