About me
I'm Caroline Simm, I trained as a counsellor after I experienced counselling support myself. I am aware first hand of the benefits of this therapeutic relationship.
As a professionally qualified and experienced counsellor, I have worked in a variety of settings with clients exploring many different issues.
Difficulties like; depression, relationship problems, divorce, bereavement, anger, work related issues, surviving abuse, family issues, stress, anxiety, eating disorders and panic disorders.
Life can be challenging, balancing work and family and then coping with problems that make us unhappy can sometimes be too much to deal with on our own.
Working from home I offer a safe, confidential space where you are able to talk over your difficulties.
During this process I can support you in gaining a better understanding of what is troubling you. I can also help you gain a better understanding of yourself.
I can offer competitive rates and do not charge for our initial session.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)
I am a member of the Mindfulness Association. I am at present undertaking a practitioners course in Minfulness.
This means that I work to a strict code of ethics and practice.
I draw on my experience working from a Person Centred approach intertwined with Mindfulness practice.
As a counsellor my primary role is to listen to you in a safe and non judgemental setting and help you articulate and explore your feelings.
If you would like to ask any questions, you are welcome to email me or contact me by phone.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
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.
