About me
Fabian Devlin Counselling
Seen. Heard. Supported.
Life can be really tough. 1 in 4 of us experience a mental health problem each year – and we’re often struggling with it by ourselves. You might be feeling overwhelmed with anxiety, gripped by a panic attack that paralyses and robs you of your natural confidence. Or you may be feeling the heavy weight of depression, leaving you without any energy and wanting just to stay in bed and hide under the duvet. But you don’t have to go through it alone.
I believe the key to recovery is for people to feel seen, heard and supported. I offer a calm, kind, confidential and safe space for you to share whatever is troubling you. There’ll be no judgment, only empathetic understanding and a strong will to work through the challenges with you, by your side.
Training, qualifications & experience
I’ve trained as an ‘integrative counsellor’ meaning I draw on techniques from different types of therapy and tailor an approach specifically for you. There’s no one size fits all with counselling and I’ll work closely with you to find out what’s best for you as a unique individual.
I’ve worked as a therapist for the NHS in South West London and I’m a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (Registration number: 403353), after gaining a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.
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.
