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.

Sand play Therapy
What is Sandplay?
It is a therapeutic method developed by Dora M. Kalff, Switzerland.
It is based on the principles of C.G. Jung. It is a creative form of therapy (like Art therapy) using your imagination. You can use sand, objects and water in a sand tray and work your way through your personal questions and issues through the sand in a therapeutic way. The objects you choose create a dialogue between the conscious and the unconscious of the psyche. This activates a healing process but also development of your personality. It is used with children and adults.
I will guide you through the process of how to use sandplay from start to end of the session (I will be holding the therapeutic environment).
