Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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).

Further information

Are you looking for a therapist who is experienced around neurodiversity, in particular Autism, ADHD and AuDHD? 

I specialise in working with Neurodivergent adults, particularly those navigating a late diagnosis. My practice is neurodiversity affirmative and I have specialist training in working with neurodivergent clients, alongside my own lived experience to draw on. I use techniques which are aimed at this particular client area and which are evidenced to be effective. 

With me, you can find a place to explore your patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviours and help translate past experiences to what happens in the here and now, in a space where you can feel free to unmask, be yourself and express yourself fully.
