About me
Who am I…
Hi my name is Sally and I have been in your shoes... looking for a counsellor... one I can relate to and one who won’t judge me! It’s a scary time and I was anxious about getting it wrong. I want to reassure you that it’s Ok.
I am a registered member of the BACP working from Stevenage, Hertfordshire. I am a person-centred therapist offering empathic and compassionate therapy for individuals and couples.
How can counselling help...
Life brings its own demands and challenges and just when you least expect it these demands and challenges can be overwhelming. We all need extra support from time to time and I feel that using talking therapies (counselling) can help us get back on track and equip us to face the world. By working together we can unravel the areas that cause you to struggle.
What I can offer you...
I have a comprehensive understanding of abuse and the traumatic feelings that impact every day life. I can offer a safe place to explore those feelings and attempt to make sense of your feelings both emotionally and physically.
I have a vast amount of experience working with family issues including foster carers and blended families. If you no longer live with your children and find this difficult to cope get in touch. I am experienced in therapeutic parenting and can offer support and understanding for those difficult parenting years.
I work with couples in a balanced and equal way. We can work together to improve communication and understanding. If sharing thoughts and feelings are difficult then counselling can offer a couple safe space and the opportunity to be heard.
I work with teenagers aged 15+ - for example anxiety, self harm, self worth and pressures of today's world.
I can also work with older adults - we assume that our older community do not have mental health problems but of course they do.
My practice is in Stevenage with easy parking. There is a bus stop about 5 minutes walk away. Access to the counselling room is by stairs.
I offer a relaxed and safe space where together we can explore anything you want to. I am lead by you. I am here to listen and not judge
I can offer home visits if you are unable to travel or manage the stairs to my counseeling room. Home visits need to be in a room with just me and client with no distractions such as tv or people visiting during the session, contact me to ask any questions.
Please email me, text or call. Leave a message and I will return your call.
I offer day and evening sessions.
I can also offer counselling students reduced rate sessions.

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.

Further information
I have a friendly and professional way of working. I believe in getting the right counsellor for you is important. Especially when you may share some of the most important and private aspects of your life.
I am a person centred counsellor and believe that with support you will find the right way to heal and make any life style changes needed. I work with the real you and this helps with self esteem and self worth. Judgements from others can change how we feel about ourselves but when stripped back we can see exactly who we are. With couples, counselling gives an opportunity to share thoughts and feelings that sometimes are too difficult to hear, in a safe environment. I enjoy counselling and look forward to new clients as well as working with returning and present clients.
