About me
Making the decision to see if counselling is for you can be daunting....not knowing what or who will be the right one. You might feel you don't know what the real reasons for seeking counselling are.....maybe you do.....
It could be due to something in your life that has changed and seems difficult to cope with or understand. Maybe it's something you cant put your finger on but 'something isn't quite right'. Are you feeling or acting in a way that you aren't happy about? Does everything seem overwhelming in life?
Counselling can help you to understand, unravel and bring clarity to your thoughts, feelings or actions that are stopping you living how you want to be or holding you back in some way and therefore bring about ways to change to help you move forward to where you want to be.

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.
