About me
Hello I'm Jane and I am an integrative counsellor, based in Kingsteignton near Newton Abbot.
If you are reading this then you have already taken the most difficult step as you have decided to seek help and support with whatever it is that you are dealing with. If we work together then I will hold a safe space for you to explore whatever issues you wish to bring and work with you towards the goals and outcomes you most want to achieve. I will do this in a non judgemental, holistic and empathic way, respecting your choices and with complete confidentiality.
You can initially phone me and we can have a chat to see if you would like to meet. I can offer you a calm, comfortable and peaceful space where we can meet with parking and accessible to a bus route.
Training, qualifications & experience
I started my training some years ago attending Bridgwater College completing foundation and intermediate counselling courses and I then went on to attend the Dartmoor Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy where I qualified in the Advanced Diploma in Counselling. After this I also completed the Diploma in Sandplay, Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Certificate in Couples Counselling.
I previously ran a counselling service for a local charity, but now I concentrate on my private practice.
I have an extensive working background in statutory organisations including local authority and the NHS. I have worked with people from all walks of life from all different backgrounds and all ages for the past 20 plus years.
I am a registered member of BACP and I abide by the BACP ethical framework which can be found on the BACP website.
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.
