About me
Hi My name is Barbara and I am a person-centred counsellor, supervisor and life coach. I am an accredited member with the BACP ( British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy). My approach to counselling is that the clients know best and therefore I offer a listening ear, empathy and non-judgemental environment. Confidentiality is of paramount importance within my practise. I have worked with many clients with very different issues, and I feel very privileged to be able to fully engage with the process of helping people become a healthier functioning person. I offer a free consultation of 15 minutes so that we can explore the possibility of working together. As a person-centred counsellor, I have experience of working with clients in the following areas, drug or alcohol dependency, bereavement, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, eating disorders, anxiety, relationship issues and more (see full list below). I am also now certified in couples' counselling's/Marriage guidance.

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.
