Hi I`m Bev, thank you for visiting my website!!

I hope you find the information about me and my approach helpful. If you have any questions please feel free to get in contact.

I am an experienced counselling professional registered with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and a member of the Black, African and Asian Therapy Network (BAATN). I work with individual adults and couples who are ready to make changes. I believe that relationships are key to every aspect of life and that mutually satisfying relationships with others are necessary for our emotional wellbeing. I currently offer counselling online and face to face.

As a qualified Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) trainer I provide training in a range of areas including accredited and non accredited mental health awareness courses.

My approach:

I offer an integrative relational approach to counselling and psychotherapy which draws on elements from different therapeutic approaches depending on your individual needs. My aim is to work with you in a way and at a pace that is right for you. My approach also takes account of social factors (such as gender, culture, race and class) and how these impact on our lives.

I have experience of working with a range of client concerns including:

Anxiety, Bereavement/Loss, Confidence and Self Esteem,

Depression, Diversity (race, culture, gender etc), Stress (including work/study related stress)

and relationships.

Other interests:

I have a particular interest in relationships, equality, diversity and inclusion. I am also interested in the links between physical and mental health.

Outside of my clinical practice I am the founder and host of an annual Wellbeing Conference.

Testimonials:

"I had reached a stage in my life where I was finding it difficult to cope with bereavement following the death of someone very important and close to me, I needed support. Bev gave me the space and time to explore what was going on for me in a way and at a pace that was unique to me. The sessions were engaging and thought-provoking, where I felt at ease to open up, and I felt heard. Bev skilfully helped me unravel some difficult thoughts and feelings, which I was able to process and better understand. She provided me with further tools to take away to manage some of my difficult emotions and thoughts. I would gladly recommend Bev to others, which is why I am happy to write this." SB 2023

`Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to deliver a really great session as part of our 2024 Training Month here at New Testament Church of God, Leeds. The content was not only fantastic, but it was delivered at exactly the right level to support understanding and encourage engagement from those present. Those who participated had many take-aways and stand much better informed and empowered to take action off the back of the session, which really hit the objective of getting the group to think seriously about mental health and all it entails on a personal level and from the perspective of supporting others. Thank you once again and may all your endeavours continue to be Blessed'. NTG, Leeds, April 2024

`Thank you for everything you have done for me personally, and thank you for everything you continue to do for our employees' BB, May 2024
