About me

Hi, my name is Christine Boal. I am a professionally trained psychotherapist to Masters level and am fully accredited with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I have over a decade of experience supporting people through a wide range of challenges.

I believe we all could benefit from therapeutic support at certain times in our lives. I know deeply how effective counselling and psychotherapy can be in helping us move through our challenges in a positive way. I am committed to removing the stigma and shame attached to seeking professional support for our mental/ emotional health.

Sessions cost from £45. I offer day appointments, long term and short term therapy.

I look forward to hearing from you….

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

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.
