Becci has trained at the Tavistock and Portman Hospital, London, to complete a second masters in Systemic and Family Psychotherapy. She is able to offer advanced psychotherapies to couples and families. Her focused research topics have included areas of Autism, Anxiety, Attention and Gender Diversity. 

Becci is registered with the Association of Family Therapists (AFT) and United Kingdom Council of Psychotherapy (UKCP). 

She has worked for the mental health charity Mind, and has a 11 year career in the NHS; gaining experience in neurorehabilitation, forensics and Child and Adolescent Mental Health services (CAMHS). This includes direct work with schools by delivering teaching, workshops and interventions for students, parents and teachers. 

Becci specialises in working with children, families and couples. She welcomes having multiple people as part of your therapy; by offering a space to facilitate compassionate and curious conversations with your significant others. The benefit of doing therapy together is it can notably help to achieve desired goals and improve your relationships.

She offers a relaxed, conversational and collaborative space with the aim of igniting your curiosity, reflection and solutions about your difficulty. There will be space for frustrations and tears, together with good humour together. Sessions will include gentle challenges using therapeutic techniques which will help with making changes to your usual patterns, and to find new ways of coping.

Becci is drawn to a relational approach of psychotherapy, inspired by Narrative & Brief Solution Focused methods. This is an integrated goal focused approach which works together with the client (and their significant others), to better understand the stories which we tell about ourselves - some of which can become stuck or no longer helpful to us. Becci works creatively and with interest to understand these stories in liberating ways with you. 

Becci has additional training in the following:

• Foundation Level in Nonviolent Resistance (NVR) 

• NVR and the application to anxiety disorders. 

• Single Session Thinking, SST (Bouviere Centre) 

• PACE Approach (Playful, Accepting, Curious and Empathy) 

• CBT Intermediate (Association of Psychological Therapies, APT)
