About me
28 years experience of counselling practice and training counsellors. My primary focus is on building a trusting and safe environment with you in order to explore any concerns you have. I work with you, at a pace which is comfortable for you. I have knowledge and skills to assist you in pursuing your journey; I will support you in finding your own answers and to make any changes you believe will better your life. Sometimes change is not what is wanted or needed; you may want to work through some difficult feelings and issues to gain closure or acceptance.
I have experience of working as a counsellor in the NHS, colleges and universities,voluntary organisations as well as my private work.
I am also a counselling tutor and have been training counsellors for over 25 years. I understand the difficulties associated with counsellor training and am very happy to offer training rates to students. I offer counseling training at Worthing College: CPCAB Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills; CPCAB Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Studies; and CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. Please look at my training website for more details: www.caracounsellingtraining.co.uk

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.
