About me
I hold individual membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
My counselling/psychotherapy model is integrative. I am a counselling lecturer, teaching counselling in an adult college in London, holding membership with the institute for learning. I currently work as a psychotherapist in private practice receiving some referrals from the NHS, insurance companies and EAPs. I also work on a structured addiction treatment programme in a prison context where my work includes 1-1 therapy, group therapy and facilitating workshops. Meditation/mindfulness, guided visualisation and EMDR feature in my way of working.

Member organisations

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership

Accredited Register Scheme
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.
