About me

My name is Steph and I strive to provide a safe and nurturing space for individuals to explore their mental health and well-being. I use an integrated counselling approach which combines various therapeutic techniques to support a journey towards healing and self-discovery. An integrative counselling approach means you are the centre of your journey. It is mainly a person centered approach with the use of other techniques from various modalities, these help to broaden the way in which we can explore your thoughts, worries and emotions. Working integratively is beneficial as there is no 'one box fits all' element with counselling as we are all different and unique, being integrative makes counselling adaptable and suitable for everyone. 

I have worked within the charity support sector for 10 years. I have gained lots of experience providing helpline support and as a counsellor. I have many skills and I have worked with many differnt types of people, genders and circumstances. Here is a small example of what I can work with:

Anxiety

Depression

Grief

Anger

Sexual violence and abuse

Child abuse

Intimacy issues

Autism/ADHD/Neurodivergence

LGBTQ+

Self harm/Suicide

I am a qualified integrative counsellor. I am registered with and an individual member of the BACP. I adhere to and follow the BACP ethical framework at all times. I have regular supervision with a qualified supervisor to ensure that I remain up to date, ethical and to look after my own mental health.

Choosing a counsellor can be a daunting experience and it is important to feel reassured and to be able to feel you can connect with your counsellor. Here is a little bit about me, and who I am.

I am a down to earth, fun and quirky person. I see the best in people and understand that we have all come from different places in life, for this sometimes we are judged or treated differently. I was born in the south and have since moved to Northumberland. I love the area, the people and find the atmosphere and sea very calming. I enjoy walking my dogs on the beach, arts and crafts, sea swimming and begrudgingly going to the gym!

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a qualified integrative counsellor. I offer face to face appointments in the North East, video and telephone appointments to anywhere in the UK. I offer day, evening and weekend appointments. I am registered with the BACP and working towards accreditation.

I have volunteered for Cygnus support and I am currently volunteering for The Sue Lambert Trust. 

I have experience with many different issues including anxiety, stress, depression, grief, low mood, suicidal ideation, sexual abuse, child abuse, trauma, erectile dysfunction, intimacy issues and many more.

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.
