Elaine Potter, MSc Therapeutic Counselling, MBACP
About me
Hello, my name is Elaine and I am a BACP Registered Counsellor.
As a counsellor trained with an independent integrative approach, I am able to work in a way which suits each individual. I see counselling as a journey which we embark on together in order for you to understand and deal with the issues which are concerning you.
I have worked with people with depression, anxiety, relationship problems and many other issues. I also have experience of working with people who have suffered from domestic abuse.
I am happy to discuss any issues you wish to bring up, whether you are struggling with specific problems or a more general sense of not dealing with life. I am able to offer both short term and long term work.
If you have any questions, please get in touch for your free initial session.

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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
