About me
Hi, my name is Vivienne.
I offer a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. As everyone's experiences are unique to them, I use a range of therapeutic approaches so I can adapt our sessions to meet your needs and goals.
My approach is relational and collaborative, and I believe the therapeutic relationship is a key ingredient for meaningful change. I aim to walk alongside you, and go at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
I have seen first-hand how counselling can be transformative and can truly change lives. I understand that reaching out can feel daunting, and I welcome you to contact me with any questions or concerns you might have.
I look forward to hearing from you and, hopefully, beginning a meaningful journey together.

I am a fully qualified and experienced Integrative counsellor. I combine different therapeutic modalities, such as person-centred, psychodynamic and cognitive-behaviour therapy , to create a holistic and client-centred approach to our working together.
I have experience in working for a registered community counselling charity offering accessible counselling to young people and adults.
I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy)
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.
