About me
I have been working in this field for over 20 years and am a training analyst of the Society of Analytical Psychology. My consulting rooms are close to the Imperial War Museum on the south bank of the Thames. I see people on a long-term basis, three or four times a week.
You may get in touch with me via this directory, my website www.alison-masters.co.uk, or through the members' directories of the SAP and BPC
I respond within 24 hours to all inquiries which are, of course, treated in confidence.
Training, qualifications & experience
One of the requirements for analytic work is that practitioners must have had extensive experience as a patient of the psychotherapy they train to practice. Personal analysis leads to change. This was certainly the case for me. I became a member of the Society of Analytical Psychology in 2003 and am now a training analyst. I have worked and supervised in the NHS and held a supervisory appointment at the counselling organisation and trainer, WPF.
I am professionally registered with the BPC (British Psychoanalytic Council), the IAAP (International Association for Analytical Psychology) and my training body, the SAP (Society of Analytical Psychology).
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 British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) is a professional association, representing the profession of psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
The organisation is itself made up of fourteen member organisations and BPC accredits the trainings of its member organisations. An individual who qualifies from one of these trainings is then eligible for entry into the BPC's register.
BPC registrants are governed by a code of ethics, a policy of continuing professional development, a statement on confidentiality and a complaints procedure. The BPC is a Member Society of the European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in the Public Sector (EFPP). 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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
