Sometimes you know something needs to change, but you cannot quite move.
Counselling gives us a space to listen, not just in your thoughts, but in your body, your patterns, your relationships and the story you have been living inside.
At the heart of my work is one clear purpose: To support you from stuck to living with more freedom.
You might be navigating loss, burnout, identity shifts, anxiety, or just feeling stuck… we can work together in either an ongoing Counselling container to explore over time.
Invisible patterns and systems become visible, so real change can happen!
You may feel caught in the same patterns.
Asking the same questions.
Trying to think your way through something your body, history or nervous system has not yet been able to release.
Questions like:
- Why do I always end up here?
- How am I in this situation again?
- Why can’t I just get over this?
- Why do I know what I need, but still cannot seem to do it?
For me, stuck is a holding point whilst you’re waiting for more information.
How I Work
I am an integrative counsellor with somatic leanings, which means I do not use one fixed method with every client.
Instead, I work over time, with you as a whole person.
Your thoughts.
Your emotions.
Your body.
Your nervous system.
Your history.
Your intuition.
Your relationships.
Your sense of meaning and purpose.
I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches, including Transactional Analysis, Internal Family Systems, Psychosynthesis, Somatic Awareness, Drama Therapy, Sand Tray and Spiritual and Existential approaches.
You do not need to know which approach is right for you.
That is my job.
You simply bring yourself, and we work from there.
My Approach
Personal development can be challenging, especially when we cling to familiar behaviours that provide a sense of security. In the realm of therapy, it’s understood that we embody not just one, but various selves, known as archetypes, subpersonalities, or protectors. With my background in theatre, we look at the unhelpful scripts and use humour to effectively navigate past these narrative barriers, helping to dismantle limiting beliefs.
This insight allows me to discern patterns and trigger points from multiple perspectives, offering a comprehensive view based on my twenty-five years of experience in psychology, neuroscience, performance and spirituality.
A Note on Humour
In many therapy spaces, humour is frowned upon, often seen as a defence mechanism to avoid feeling difficult emotions. And yes, sometimes it is.
But humour can also be a powerful ally.
Used with awareness, humor builds trust, softens shame, and helps us slip past the inner critics and stuck scripts that have kept us small. I’ll notice when it is being used to avoid feeling. But I also know that laughter can bring light to the heaviest of places. It can reveal truth with more gentleness than a thousand words and hours of therapy.
My Perspective
I’m an integrative counsellor, highly intuitive, and lifelong explorer of what it means to be fully alive.
Part of what shapes my work is my own neurodiversity.
I experience a form of synesthesia where I perceive people’s emotions as distinct auditory cues. This means I often “hear” the emotional undercurrent of a session, not just what’s being said, but what’s unspoken.
This heightened sensory awareness allows me to tune in quickly and precisely. What some might see as a challenge, I’ve come to know as one of my greatest tools for supporting client transformation.
What issues can be explored in counselling?
Counselling can support anxiety, low mood, grief, relationship challenges, self-esteem, trauma and the sense of being stuck in repeating patterns. My integrative approach blends modalities such as Transactional Analysis, Gestalt, Internal Family Systems (IFS), psychosynthesis, spiritual/existential work and somatic awareness so we can work in the way that suits you.
Do I have to talk about my past or trauma in counselling?
Not unless you want to. Somatic therapy lets us work with what’s happening in the body even when words are hard to find. You don’t need to relive every past event to make meaningful change.
Is humour really part of therapy?
Used consciously, humour can build trust, soften shame and help us approach difficult emotions safely. I notice when humour is a defence, but I also use it thoughtfully to bring light to heavy places and unlock insight.
Are sessions online or in person?
Both. I offer online sessions via Zoom and a limited number of in-person appointments in Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset, UK.
Are you BACP registered?
Yes, I’m a member of the BACP and work with regular supervision. Counselling is delivered under the BACP framework.

Client Experiences
“I found my sessions with Becky to be incredibly valuable. I consistently looked forward to and enjoyed each session. Our interactions were always highly collaborative, with Becky effectively leveraging her knowledge and expertise to help me understand my challenges deeply. She expertly guided me towards new perspectives and approaches. I cannot overstate the positive impact of these sessions. Becky helped me make sense of a wide range of complex issues that had troubled me for years, significantly boosting my self-esteem and motivation. Thank you, Becky, for your invaluable guidance and support.”
Dave S
“With so many counselors, it is easy to wonder whether what you’re mainly learning is how to live a life more like the counselor’s. Becky has lived so many lives that she can relate to whatever you want your life to be, and she relates with a robustly warm and funny personality that is equal parts wise and inspiring.”
