About us

Buckinghamshire Mind is a charity working to support and represent people with Mental Health needs in the local community.

We provide high quality one-to-one counselling to adults with a variety of mental health needs. We can work with people who are experiencing anxiety, depression, loss, relationship issues, difficulties with anger, recovery from traumatic events or are struggling to cope with the pressure of life.

Our core purpose is to provide a confidential counselling service that is available to individuals regardless of age ,gender,sexuality, disability, religion or background.

We are an independent service, operating separately from GPs and other statutory agencies.

Our service is an organisational member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and all of our counsellors adhere to and work within the BACP Ethical Framework.

Clients will be offered an initial appointment to ascertain that we are the right service for them. Following this, they will be offered 10 sessions of counselling, each taking place with their allocated counsellor at the same time on the same day each week. The duration of each session is 50-60 minutes.

Training, qualifications & experience

Our counselling team comprises of counsellors who are either fully qualified or who are undertaking a placement on the final year of their diploma or equivalent.

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.

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.

We have verified that at least one professional at this organisation is registered with the relevant professional body.
