Emma James MBACP
About me
I am a therapeutic counsellor qualified to work with adults and young people (11+).
My experience covers a broad range of client needs – from dealing with everyday anxiety issues to working intensively with those who have experienced trauma.
I offer clients a safe, empathic and genuine non-judgemental space from where to explore their issues and to work on empowering themselves to make positive change.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and I have a CPCAB Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.
I have extensive experience in working with adult and teenage survivors of sexual violence - both recent and non-recent.
I am qualified to work with children and young people from 11-18 and currently work as a counsellor in two secondary schools.
I offer an LGBTQ+ affirmative practice.
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.
