Denise Aaron MBACP(Snr Accred)
About me
I am an experienced counsellor and therapist who has spent many years working in the fields of mental health and education. I now run a private practice and see individuals and couples for both short-term and long-term counselling. i work generally within an existential framework, which is a philosophical way of looking at life experiences and focuses on how we are living our lives at the moment, and what is important to us. I also use my training as an integrative therapist to draw on other theoretical concepts which may help to throw light on past and present experiences, and when appropriate introduce CBT as a method of facilitating specific change.

I have experience of working in an NHS psychotherapy department , in a community mental health team,a drug and alcohol unit, a hospice,an agency dealing with childhod sexual abuse and as a college counsellor . I also see people referred by their workplaces for work-related stress.
Member organisations
Registered / Accredited
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.
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.
