Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

Further information
I enjoy my work immensely and continue to be inspired by the potential for growth that psychotherapy and counselling offers. My work with clients is underpinned by several years of personal counselling as well as many years of practising (and teaching) yoga and meditation. I live in a busy, happy home in the Dales area of Derbyshire with my husband, dog & three cats. When I'm not working as a therapist, I very much enjoy a part-time career in music, singing and playing clarinet in a 5-piece folk roots band. I am also passionate about natural health and grow as much of our own chemical-free food as possible. Please refer to my website for further details and call for a no obligation conversation if you would like to explore working with me.
