Meet our dedicated team

CEO

Jyles has built his career growing organisations and developing people, with a strong and enduring commitment to wellbeing at the heart of his work. Over 20 years ago, he established his first workplace counselling scheme, driven by a belief that supporting mental health is fundamental to creating healthy, effective workplaces. As CEO, he brings a strategic mindset alongside a genuine belief in the value of compassionate, people-centred leadership.

Outside of work, Jyles enjoys spending time with his family and experimenting in the kitchen. He values the way good food can bring people together, creating moments to pause, connect, and share. He is also an enthusiastic collector of vinyl, always on the lookout for his next great find.

Head of Operations 

Camilla is an experienced manager of people and a qualified project manager. She was working in a global role in the travel industry, before the Covid pandemic prompted her to review where she wanted to spend her energies.

Camilla joined the NCPS in 2021, as Head of Membership Services, and her role has grown alongside with the Society’s increased membership. Camilla now oversees a number of departments and has led several projects for the Society.

Camilla is a Samaritan and a qualified foster carer. She is passionate about improving young people’s life chances.

In her downtime she enjoys running, yoga, theatre and watching, or reading about, old movies.

Head of Public Affairs and Advocacy 

Meg had her first experience of counselling training at the age of 22, and over 15 years later she is still passionate about counselling, and the life-changing impact that therapeutic relationships can have; she hopes to return to qualifying study one day and practice in the profession that means so much to her. 

In the meantime, with a long and winding career through various research-based, supportive, strategic, and executive roles, Meg is now leading our Public Affairs and Advocacy work. 

She also enjoys taking photographs of bugs and mushrooms, learning to play a variety of musical instruments, playing D&D with friends, and spending time with her husband, two daughters, friends, and family.

Head of Training Services & Professional Standards

I initially qualified as a psychologist in 1996. Having worked in a range of client-facing roles in both mental health and commercial settings my lifelong interest in counselling, shaped by my professional journey and personal experiences, led me to retrain as a counsellor. For the past nine years, I have served the Society as Head of Training Services and Professional Standards, as well as the Society’s Registrar.  Alongside my organisational role, I run a successful private practice providing counselling to private clients, EAP services and BUPA referrals.  I also enjoy working as a supervisor to both trainees and qualified practitioners.

In my spare time, I enjoy being outdoors with my very cheeky sausage dog, keeping active at the gym and exploring new places in my camper. An avid reader,  I especially love getting lost in a good psychological thriller!!

Head of Engagement & Development

Faye spent over 20 years working as a full-time counsellor, as well as a variety of supportive roles, both professionally and voluntary. Most notably in the world of HIV/AIDs, palliative care and bereavement, mentoring and advocacy— work that taught her the value of kindness, presence, and a well-timed cup of tea. 

She spent eight wonderful years living and working in Greece, soaking up plenty of sunshine and a new language along the way. Now happily settled in Somerset and a Mum of twins, she is the NCPS Head of Engagement and Development by day, a lover of live music and live comedy by night and will find any excuse possible to be outdoors.

Communications Manager 

Beth is the Communications Manager at the NCPS, where she focusses on how the NCPS communicates with members and the public. While her background is not in counselling or psychotherapy, she has developed a strong connection to the profession through her role. She is particularly passionate about making the profession more visible and better understood, having seen how timely access to support can have a lasting impact on people’s lives. She focuses on ensuring that NCPS communicates in a way that is open, accessible, and true to its values and ethos.

Outside of work, Beth enjoys walking and exploring new places (especially on days with good weather). She also enjoys going to concerts and reading, and catching up with friends and family.
