Rose Agyeman MA, Registered MBACP - Stepping into Counselling
About me
**COVID-19 Update**
During the present Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. I am offering telephone, online (zoom) and Face Time counselling to both existing and new clients.-
Hi and welcome. There are times within our lives where we experience challenges and difficulties and feel unable to cope and just simply need to talk to someone other than family and friends in order to really feel heard, accepted, respected and understood. At these times speaking to an impartial, non judgemental professional counsellor can be helpful.
A counsellor will not give you advice or tell you what you should do or should not do, but will listen to you carefully and try to understand your situation from your point of view and try to help enable you to explore your feelings and thoughts and reflect upon what is happening within your life.
I am an experienced Integrative couples and Individual Counsellor based in Brighton, with experience of both short and long term counselling. Being integratively trained means that I have knowledge of different counselling theories, which I can use and adapt to fit the clients individual needs.
I am very passionate about the potential for counselling to bring about positive change within our lives. I would like to provide you with a confidential, non judgemental and accepting space, and this space would be solely yours and a place where you can explore your emotions, issues and difficulties, and express your thoughts and feeling.
It is my heartfelt intention to make a genuine connection with you and to develop a counsellor/client relationship that is built upon reciprocal trust, as the relationship between me and you lies at the heart of the work. I aim to offer you a relationship free from the experiences of your past, which at the same time allows you to explore your past experiences and relationships within a warm, secure, supportive and safe environment.
I work collaboratively with couples helping enable them to develop an awareness and undertaking of their deeper issues, which underline the problems that they are facing, along with awareness of practical interventions they can make to break negative patterns.

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
