About me

Hi, my name is Sal, and I'm a person-centred counsellor based in Newcastle upon Tyne.

Working together, I believe that I can help you become aware of your thought processes for anxiety, stress, depression, and a number of other reasons you may be seeking therapy. As these thoughts and feelings come up, I will invite you to fully experience your thoughts and feelings within your body, and together we can engage with moving through them.

I have clinical experience in anxiety, depression, self-esteem, ADHD, Autism, bereavement, burnout, chronic fatigue/illness, disabilities, gender dysphoria, LGBTQIA+, BPD, loneliness, self harm, and stress.

I have lived experience of LGBTQIA+ issues, physical disabilities, chronic illness and Neurodiversity. 

I offer a free, 15 minute phonecall or video chat where you are under no obligation to continue with sessions, but where we can see whether or not we would work well together.

I look forward to hearing from you.

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.
