I am Beth, a creative Coaching Psychologist based in Portsmouth, and online.
I specialize in working with adults and adolescents. I integrate various methods into my private practice and work within the charity sector as trustee and support group leader for Endometriosis South Coast.
I have an MSc in Coaching Psychology, and BSc in Counseling Psychology, both accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) and I am fully insured and DBS-checked.
Beyond the qualifications and titles, what truly shapes the way I work is who I am.
I’m a late-diagnosed AuDHD adult, living with Endometriosis, Adenomyosis, and Coeliac Disease. I’m also a lone parent, and someone who has walked a long, winding road with my mental health.
From a young age, I struggled with anxiety, depression, and the feeling that I just didn’t “fit in.” After having my daughter, I experienced a deep period of postnatal depression that truly tested me, but it also sparked something. It became the catalyst for deep healing, growth, and the journey that brought me here.
Since then, I’ve been doing the work, not just academically, but personally. I’ve faced myself, challenged long-held beliefs, stepped outside of comfort zones, embraced vulnerability, and taken radical responsibility for my own healing.
This path hasn’t been linear. There has been darkness. There has been doubt. I have felt the cracks in the mental health system by sitting in counselling rooms that never quite reached the core of what I needed. And yet, I kept going.
I take an evidence-based collaborative approach, which is client-led, tailored to each client based on their unique experiences and desired outcomes.
