About me
We all need someone to talk to in confidence. You might be down, anxious, sad, rejected, confused, bereft, angry or struggling with something or someone. Life today is so frantic and demanding that it’s hard to find somewhere to talk where you don’t feel judged or criticised.
I am an experienced integrative Humanistic Psychotherapist and Counsellor, also a life coach with many trainings, including CBT. I believe being listened to, understood, and supported can help you deal with your problems. Sometimes you just need some space, some encouragement, even a gentle challenge, to make significant changes in your life.
Therapy is about making a relationship with yourself that is loving, forgiving and positive.
I am particularly interested in:
· Addictive issues;
· Sexuality issues;
· Anxiety, depression, stress, burn-out;
· Confidence and self-esteem-building;
· Decisions about having a baby/egg-freezing/adoption;
· Relationship-building;
· Finding your purpose, fulfilling your dreams.
I write self-help books and have been an ‘agony aunt’ and relationship psychologist in magazines, radio and TV, including ‘Big Brother’. (see www.corinnesweet.com)
I work with individuals and couples and run workshops and small groups.

Professional Body:
British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy
MBACP
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.
