Hi there, I’m Becky - the integrative counsellor behind Create Space.

You’ve already taken a huge first step by being here, and that matters! I don't believe you need fixing, but I am here to offer a warm, gentle and deeply compassionate space for all your thoughts. By blending humanistic values with a bit of body-awareness magic, we’ll work together to listen to your unique inner wisdom. Think of me as your steady partner in finding more breathing room, using a mix of tools tailored just for you. We’re building a real human connection here, where you can finally just be.

Humanistic Values.

We will start from the idea that you’re already wise and resilient. Our work is relational and compassionate - creating space to lay things out, get curious, and grow in your own way.

We will look gently at old stories and patterns, not with judgement, but with a genuine wonder about how they served you once. By creating a silence that speaks, we allow the subtext of your experience to finally be heard and acknowledged.

Somatic Integration.

We will also track your physical responses together, and view them as messengers, finding where the 'yes' and 'no' live in your nervous system.

Relationship.

Who you are in relationship with self, and with others is a large focus of the work we will do together; utilising our new found relationship in order to anchor this exploration. Your earliest childhood relationships will also be explored, when/if accessible for you.

Our sessions will gently move through dedicated areas, at your own pace, but remain rooted in your path and how each session moves organically.

The welcome space.

Here, you will have space to breathe and just be! possibly for the first time in a long time? Sharing, in your own way, at your own speed. Wondering- actually, how do I feel? what do I feel?

The collaboration space.

Here we hopefully find a little distance between you and your thoughts and worries. We will work together in ways that feel right for you; witnessing and feeling how you best respond, and exploring honestly together, is a large part of the work we will do. eg.Why do I always feel so angry?

Honouring your old defences and stories is incredibly important. Understanding that we all have unique frames of reference and experiences and considering that is also a large part of the work we will do. Compassionate curiosity feels like the best way to describe this part of our work together. Considering power imbalances in your life is also something we will explore together, where relevant- looking at the power threat meaning framework.

eg.I feel so alone but I am surrounded by people!

The check in space.

Allowing time for reflection and looking at what has shifted or remains stuck for you is also part of our work together. In check in spaces we do just that.

eg. Reminder of how far you have come! and where you still wish to go...

The ending space.

Here we gather your progress and zoom out, hopefully with a bit more breathing room and a sense that growth is already underway. Awareness is increased and a greater sense of authenticity and self compassion is hopefully present.

Sessions can continue for as long as you need.

A free 15 minute curiosity call is offered before embarking on therapy. Here we can check that we are happy to work together, and importantly, that it feels right for you.

I really look forward to meeting with you and sharing this space together.

Take good care, Becky.

A free initial 15 minute free curiosity call with me is offered, to establish what brings you to therapy, and to see if we are able to work together. 

If agreed, collaboratively, I send out an initial contract to complete and sign ahead of booking in your first session. 

Sessions are weekly at the same day and time each week, unless otherwise discussed. Payments are taken via BACS 24 hrs before session, otherwise the planned session will not be able to go ahead.
