About me
Hi, I’m Sherry I am a qualified, experienced and compassionate counsellor offering a friendly and approachable service to adults and young people facing emotional, personal or relationship difficulties. Daytime, evening and weekend appointments available with on-site parking. Based in Worsley village, Salford M28.
My style is that of quiet patience. I am interested about the people sat with me and extend warmth and compassion in a gentle way so we can work together to find the right solution for you. Everyone starts somewhere and I'm here to help you start the way that is right for you.
I understand it can be difficult to make initial contact so to make this as easy as possible, I am happy to offer a free initial telephone consultation to explain how I work. We can also discuss any questions that you have regarding the counselling relationship and counselling process.
I offer therapy ranging from a one-off session to a long-term, open-ended basis if required.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified counsellor and a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with my practice firmly grounded in Humanistic Counselling and Cognitive Behaviour Therapies with professional qualifications and training in both, as well as additional therapeutic modalities.
As a Professional Counsellor I take part in regular CPD (Continuing Professional Development) days so my knowledge and experience is constantly updated.
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.

I also have significant experience of offering counselling to individuals, families, and carers who are struggling to cope with everyday life and are being impacted by: disability, long term medical conditions, life limiting illness, loss of independence and significantly reduced mental health.
I work with people from a variety of backgrounds and cultures, neurodivergent thinking styles, with a wide range of issues.
