About me
Introducing myself
Hi, my name is Siata. I love working with people to achieve their goals and fulfil their potential. Life can be challenging and change can be difficult, but having the right help and support can make it easier to break free from the things that are holding you back from living well and achieving your goals.
How we can work together
I am a qualified counsellor and I work with clients to live well. If you need help to make a change, such as breaking a bad habit, creating good habits or dealing with a range of issues from anxiety to phobia, I can help you to achieve your personal and professional goals. I provide a warm, safe and confidential space for you to explore the issues on your mind and difficult feelings you may be experiencing. I offer an accepting, non-judgemental place where, together, we can work through these challenges, issues and feelings - whatever they may be.
My experience and my approach
I have over 20 years of experience working in financial services and risk consulting at a senior level. I decided to change careers at the age of 40 to become a therapist because what I enjoyed most about my leadership roles was working with people and helping them to become the best versions of themselves - more of who they truly are. I work in an integrative and person-centred way. This means the relationship with the client and the client’s best interest is at the core of my work. I tailor my approach to meet the specific and unique needs of each client. I work to the high ethical and professional standards of the National Counselling Society and British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society
This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations.
In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
