About me
Ian has over 15,000 hours of delivering professional help to people. He is Relate trained and has been an Independent counsellor since 2002 but also works with the NHS, Charities, EAP's, National organisations, Schools and Colleges.
He works from the client being in control perspective, not demanding how many sessions the Client attends or when those sessions are, instead each session is a stand alone session and doesn't commit Clients to any further sessions. He is totally non judgmental and accepting of individual Client's beliefs, cultural and sexual identities.
He is qualified and experienced to work with Individuals, Couples, YP and Groups on all emotional issues that humans find are hindrances to having a happy and healthy life.
He is also a teacher and delivers training courses for Counsellors and professionals via zoom and face to face more information can be found at www.iwtc.org.uk
His weekly podcast which is available in audio and video can be found at https://linktr.ee/themessedupcounsellor gives lots of insight into human dynamics and how you may have a better world and relationships by understanding why people do what they do.

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.
