About me
Hi I'm Roz a Person Centred Counsellor and Relationship Therapist based across Northumberland & Newcastle Upon Tyne.
When you're having a hard time through difficult circumstances, feeling a bit lost or stuck with life, or finding your life is being affected by anxiety, depression, past experiences or you’re living with ADHD, talking things through with me can really help you feel better, work things out and move forward. It’s important to me as a therapist that you feel comfortable talking to me and you feel you’re in a safe environment where you are completely supported. I specialise in working with you on issues that effect your life on a day to day basis and you’re relationships with family, friends, colleagues and the relationship you have with yourself.
I work with individuals, couples and families to communicate better and find a way back to feeling and being well. I'm very happy to help you find your way with empathy, compassion and offer a down to earth approach to counselling. Just get in touch and we can arrange an informal chat.

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.

Testimonials; How people experience counselling with me
Seeing Roz has been an amazing journey, I have found my true self worth, helped me realise who I am and that I deserve so much more than what I was receiving. Roz helped me work out how to get where I am and believe in myself. I don't think anyone else could have helped me get here, Roz is a kind and caring soul with so much knowledge and experience. I never felt that she judged me, she listened to my every word and I felt stronger after spending even just an hour with her, she helped me deal with difficulties from my childhood which impacted on how I feel about myself today. I feel at peace and will trust myself now. We all need guidance and support in our lives when we feel lost, and Roz will help you reach your goal as she has me, more than she will know.

I've struggled for years with my problems and never known how to deal with them! I tried 6 different counsellors over the years and always ended up feeling the same - these people don't get me, they can't help and this isn't for me. Roz has been an absolute godsend for me. I knew from the very first session she was different and left that day with a real sense of optimism.
She was a total breath of fresh air and I can't begin to describe how different I feel and how much better my life is. Roz has helped me so much. Work is better, relationships are better, life is better, I'm better! I've been on an amazing journey of self discovery and can honestly say (at 31 years old) I finally feel alive, I finally feel I can become who I'm supposed to become. I could have never imagined writing that last sentence months ago. I can only thank Roz so, so much for all of her help and without any doubt say I'd recommend her to anyone.
