Ian Stockbridge
About me
Hello,
I'm Ian and welcome to my profile. I am a professionally qualified and fully Accredited Counsellor with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and National Counselling Society (NCS). I have a Degree in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and a post-graduate (Level 7) qualification in Clinical Supervision.
I'm also the founder of Hope Therapy and Counselling Services. My team and I work with private individuals and organisations offering Counselling, CBT, Hypnotherapy, EMDR and Mindfulness support.
Finding the 'right' counsellor or therapist can seem pretty daunting for many. However, I'm a great believer that the best counsellor for you is both about the experience, and who you connect with. So, if you want a quick chat on the phone, then, by all means, get in touch.
Counselling can be a HUGE commitment, so when choosing a counsellor, it is right that you get to work with the right one. So, if people are brave enough to consider starting counselling - they should get the best help possible. Therefore, after finding out what you are looking for, I may suggest a better/alternative/more cost-effective option through someone else in my team. Between us, we offer support for a wide range of presentations from Anxiety, Depression, Bereavement, Relationship Challenges (one to one and couples), Addiction, PTSD and Trauma, to name but a few. So, whatever you are looking for, please give us a call.
I am incredibly passionate about my service's quality, integrity, and professionalism and welcome all feedback to improve standards and practice.
As well as working with many clients in a private capacity, Hope Therapy also offers organisational support throughout the UK. We can assist you with your organisational welfare and stress management needs by providing Occupational Counselling, Workplace Mediation, Critical Incident Support, Training workshops and Executive Coaching.

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

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).
