About me
Hello, I’m Tsitsi.
I’m a qualified Person-Centred Counsellor and a Registered Member of the BACP, and the founder of Rooted Within. Alongside my private practice, I volunteer as a counsellor with CFC Altrincham.
I believe you are the expert on your own life. My role isn’t to fix you or tell you what to do. It’s to listen, stay curious and work at your pace, with no rush.
Rooted Within is built on the belief that who you are, and what you carry, deserves to be understood rather than hidden. Your background, culture and experiences are welcome here.
Reaching out can feel like a big step. You’re welcome to get in touch for an initial conversation, with no pressure to commit.

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
Deciding to start counselling can feel like a big step, and there’s no pressure to rush it. We’ll begin with a short, relaxed call where you can ask me anything about how I work or what counselling involves. If you’d like to go ahead, we can then arrange an initial assessment session at a time that suits us both.
The first session lasts 50 minutes. It’s a chance to talk about what has brought you here, share as much or as little as feels comfortable, and see whether we feel like a good fit. You’re in the lead throughout, and there’s no obligation to continue.
