About me
When people ask (if they do ask) "How are you?"
Do your replies sound something like
"Oh I'm fine, all good" or "Yeah, not too great actually"
But what your voice inside actually wants to say is
"If only they knew!" , "Did they even hear what I just said" or "I don't know how to admit that I'm not ok, I have to keep it together!"
Does this feel familiar?
Life can be beautiful and amazing and at other times it can pull the rug right from under your feet, with completely no warning. Presenting us with situations that trigger overwhelming anxiety, sadness, anger and sometimes a feeling of pure desperation. Where you've never felt more disconnected from yourself or those around you. Sometimes it is possible to push away these feelings and try to carry on, but if these feelings continue to grow and are not given somewhere to be processed they can begin to have negative effects on ourselves and our relationships.
I'm Sally, a qualified and registered Person-Centred counsellor (MBACP) who works in an integrative way, combining different therapeutic tools and approaches to fit your individual needs. I believe that coming to counselling takes a huge amount of bravery but within a trusting and safe therapeutic relationship, offers you a space to really unravel and understand reasons why you may be feeling the way you do. As your counsellor I will walk alongside you with compassion, intuitive care and respect, working together at a pace you feel comfortable and safe with.
Counselling offers you a confidential and non-judgemental space to unpack and repack your story. An opportunity to just talk about exactly how you feel (even if you're not quite sure yet) to someone who is trained and experienced in listening and in providing professional psychological support.
A space to replant, nurture and grow your hope again.

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.
