Carla Shears - Red Counselling MBACP
About me
Counselling is a journey, sometimes a tough one but from the moment we begin our counselling relationship, I will be by your side as you take it.
Red Counselling can offer you a safe, comfortable place for you to explore, reflect, find emotional release or help you to get clarity to a problem that has been troubling you. You can have the confidence to speak freely and openly without judgement or interruption, which allows you to dig deep into your inner emotions and in time, ultimately help you find your own solutions to any problems you may have. The end result; counselling can lead to an overall increased feeling of well-being, self-awareness, confidence, a greater understanding of difficulties and acceptance of challenging circumstances.
Initial contact can be made confidentially by telephone or email, either way I will get back to you the same day. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have at this stage, under no obligation. Take a look at my website to gain further information.

Member organisations
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.
Accredited register membership
Accredited Register Scheme
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).
