Peggy Bishop, BACP

Peggy Bishop is a warm, caring and nonjudgmental counsellor with seven years of experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. She places strong emphasis on building therapeutic connection and creating a space where clients can be heard and accepted without judgment. She holds the BACP credential, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Peggy offers an environment in which clients can explore difficulties and work toward practical coping strategies. She aims to help people feel acknowledged and celebrated for who they are while collaboratively addressing issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, and intimacy-related difficulties.

With a specialist interest in the LGBTQIA+ community, Peggy brings a deep understanding of the particular pressures and barriers that community members may face and strives to provide an affirming space for expression and support. As an integrative counsellor, she draws on person-centered work alongside cognitive behavioural and mindfulness techniques, systemic family approaches, and creative methods to tailor support to each person’s needs. Her areas of expertise include emotional support, eating and sleeping difficulties, bereavement, bullying, low self-esteem, obsessive compulsive behaviours, self-harm awareness, and self-care. Peggy looks forward to working with new clients and adapting her approach to fit individual goals and circumstances.
