About Our Practice

Hello and thank you for visiting our site.  Life Perspective was founded in 2021 to provide affordable counselling to adults across the UK.  At our counselling practice, all our counsellors and tutors are BACP registered, qualified and trained to a recognised standard to provide counselling and counsellor training services.  Our mission is twofold: to provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy services to individuals in need, and to offer comprehensive counsellor training programs that empower aspiring therapists to excel in their work.

​

We believe in the transformative power of counselling and are committed to upholding the highest standards of professional excellence and ethical practice.  Our team of skilled and dedicated counsellors, who themselves have undergone rigorous training, serve our clients as they navigate their personal journeys toward healing and growth.

​

In addition to our counselling services, we are passionate about nurturing the next generation of mental health professionals through our counsellor training programs.  Our training curriculum is designed to equip future therapists with the knowledge, skills, and practical experience necessary to succeed in the field.  We provide a supportive learning environment where trainees can develop their counselling skills under the guidance of experienced practitioners.

 

At Life Perspective, we are dedicated to fostering a culture of inclusivity, respect, and continuous learning. We recognise the importance of cultural competence and humility in counselling practice and are committed to providing inclusive and affirming services to clients from diverse backgrounds.

​

Together, through our counselling services and counsellor training programs, we strive to promote mental health and well-being in our community, while upholding the values of integrity, compassion, and professionalism.

​

Meet the team here.

Get to Know Me

I am deeply passionate about helping people.  Through my own personal life experience and mental health challenges, counselling and psychotherapy have given me a life perspective I would have never imagined before.  I truly believe we each have our own answers, sometimes buried deep within us.  Counselling is a process to unearth them - perhaps when they are needed most.

​

Friends and colleagues have described me as calm, caring and resilient.  I have a thirst for knowledge and understanding of people.  I value connection, trust and honesty, and I am committed in my work to help you.

”We don’t have to do all of it alone. We were never meant to.” - Brené Brown
