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 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 have experience of working with trauma and abuse and the impact this can have. 

Currently I have been working with clients who have found lock down and COVID experience difficult and for some life changing.  I work with men’s issues, women’s issues and gender and identity issues.

I work with couples in a balanced and equal way. We can work together to improve communication and understanding. 
I have worked with clients who have suffered abuse - in many ways - from family, friends or workplace. I can offer a safe space, emotionally - to be able to explore feelings of vulnerability. 

I also have experience working with people who have a hearing loss and I have a basic knowledge of British Sign Language.

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

Please email me, text or call. Leave a message and I will return your call.

I offer day and evening sessions. I am Deaf Aware and have some knowledge of BSL. (Level 2)

I have experience of working with people of all ages from 15 upwards. I can also offer counselling students reduced rate sessions. 

Training, qualifications & experience

  • Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling (person centred)
  • Registered Member of British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)
  • BSL Level 1 and 2

My experience is varied. I have a vast experience of working with people who have suffered trauma in their lives and the impact this has had on their experiences.

I have worked with foster carers to support in the challenges this role brings.

I have experience working with parents who struggle with their teenagers and have also worked with the teenager.

Relationship difficulties have also been a key part in my work.

I have worked in a counselling practice attached to a charity for Deaf children and have worked with clients who have hearing loss or have family members with hearing loss.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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).

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.
