About me
Hi, I'm Toni. I'm a qualified person centred counsellor, and have been working with people experiencing mild to severe anxiety, stress, live overwhelm, depression and grief since 2015. My experience includes working with young people, adults and the elderly in private work and as a volunteer for various charities.
I have personal experience of the life changing nature of counselling, and work hard to ensure I can give everyone I work with the same transformative experience I had. Speaking to someone who can objectively and sensitively guide you through your worries can help you see things a little more clearly. I don't have magic answers to problems, but I do have the skills and experience to enable you to begin to find your own way through difficult times.
Whether the stress of day to day life has worn you down, big events have triggered burn out, or you're struggling with loss and grief, I can work at a pace that suits you, and there is no pressure to open up until you're ready.
I offer a friendly, non-judgemental and safe space for you to explore your issues, work through any problems you're experiencing, or just give you a confidential place where you can let your emotions run free.
I'm committed to making sure that everyone I work with feels heard, accepted and understood. My specialisms are anxiety, stress and depression, and I have helped people with a huge range of issues relating to that, including:
*Understand and address problems with anxiety
* Build and increase feelings of confidence and self-esteem
* Manage stress and unhelpful behaviours
* Work through feelings of loss and grief
* Challenge negative and intrusive patterns of thinking
* Explore and understand their thoughts, feelings and past experiences
* Become more motivated to achieve their goals
I currently offer evening and weekend sessions, along with weekdays.

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.

Further information
The first session will start with an assessment of your needs to see if we can work well together. It is really important that you feel comfortable opening up to me, therefore I give you an opportunity to leave with absolutely no cost or obligation to continue after we have completed this half an hour session.
If, after the first session you don't feel that I'm the right counsellor for you, I will be happy to make recommendations to other counsellors or services that might be able to help.
