About me
Hi, I'm Billy. I am a fully qualified, insured and professionally registered (MBACP) Integrative Therapeutic Counsellor based in Brandon, Suffolk. I work with adults and young people aged 11 and over, face to face and online and I specialise in working with Autism spectrum conditions and mens mental health.
During the past year, I have focused my work on mens’ mental health and how societal gender norms have a significant part to play in the high rates of depression and suicide in men within our society. In my work, I raise awareness of the origin of our individual belief systems whilst promoting and championing wellbeing, encouraging individuality and autonomy.
I have worked creatively with children and young people in groups and continue to work one to one with young people, providing counselling and support to clients with Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC) and associated conditions. I am also experienced in counselling neurotypical (those without an autism diagnosis) young people on a one to one basis.
I am a warm and compassionate practitioner and believe that the quality of the relationship between the therapist and client is part of the healing process. I offer a confidential and safe space, where we can explore together what matters to you, so you can make appropriate changes, feel in control of your life and personally develop through our work together.
The foundation of my work you would begin with providing you with a warm, safe environment and an empathic ear to listen and truly hear you. Working together with the use of exploratory questions to help you to gain greater understanding and insight into your problems. As every client is individual with unique past experiences, my way of working is reflective of this, by using a mix of different counselling approaches to best suit the needs of every client. This can be a mixture of person centered and psychodynamic approaches and cognitive behavioural therapy.
I know from personal experience it can be difficult to choose the right therapist to accompany you on your journey and with this in mind, I offer a reduced first session of £25. I also have limited concessional spaces available.

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.
