About me
Reclaim Your Confidence and Rediscover Yourself
Hi, my name is Vaughan. If you’re reading this, you might be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to turn—and I want you to know, you’re not alone. Since 2015, I’ve had the privilege of supporting people just like you: individuals facing life’s challenges, dealing with painful emotions, or struggling to feel confident and at ease in themselves.
Perhaps you’re navigating a difficult life event, work stress, or the end of a relationship. Maybe feelings of anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem are holding you back from living the life you want. It’s okay to feel uncertain—life can be hard—but it doesn’t have to stay this way. Together, we can work through these challenges so you can rediscover your strength, clarity, and joy.
Areas of Expertise
Over the past decade, I’ve helped countless individuals address concerns like:
- Anxiety
- Anger management
- Confidence and self-esteem
- Grief and loss
- Depression
- Relationship issues
- Trauma
My Approach
I know it takes courage to reach out for help, and my aim is to make this process as supportive and empowering as possible. I offer a private and confidential service, whether in-person, by phone, or online, tailored to your unique needs.
Using an integrative therapeutic approach, we will focus on:
- Helping you build confidence and self-esteem
- Reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma
- Supporting you in expanding your self-awareness and intuition, so you can create more meaningful relationships and live more fully in the present
Together, we will do this in a warm, nonjudgmental space where it is safe to explore your thoughts and feelings and gain the tools to take back control of your life.
Professional Registration
As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), I adhere to the highest ethical standards to ensure that you feel safe, respected, and supported throughout your journey.
Getting Started
It’s okay to take small steps. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation where we can talk about what’s on your mind, what you’re looking for in therapy, and how I can help.
Reach out today at 07944321901 or via email - vaupie@gmail.com to start your journey.
You deserve to feel confident, at peace, and empowered. Let’s take this step together.

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.
