About me

My name is Jack, I am a counsellor based in Newton Abbot, Devon. 

As counselling is about you as an individual, I feel it is important to find a counsellor that suits you, and finding that person can seem daunting. All I can say is that I would hope to make it as easy as possible and that I can give you my time and honesty in an environment that you can call your own, to work in a way that suits you.

I feel there are many aspects to counselling, and by being here you're already taking the first step in "looking". When you're ready and in your own time, you can take the next.

If you would like to find out more have a look around my website there is some stuff about me personally and what services are available. I have also tried to answer some standard questions you may have about counselling, and where and how is best to contact me.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind Regards
Jack

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
