Florence Terry MBACP (Accred)
About me
I am an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist. I adopt an “integrative” approach. By this I mean that I draw on many different therapeutic methods and models in my work and tailor the approach to what best suits you and the topic. As well as “traditional” counselling and psychotherapy, I can offer: (i) therapy with psycho-education – particularly useful for relationship issues, anger management issues and managing stress and anxiety (ii) trauma focused work - The purpose of these sessions is to reduce the present-day impact on you of past trauma e.g. if you have suffered physical, mental or sexual abuse, including bullying; a bereavement, including a miscarriage or loss of a relationship; trauma giving birth, or an accident and (iii) therapy whilst walking - useful if you find it easier to talk when walking or want to combine looking after your body with looking after your mental well-being.

Member organisations
Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
