About me
Jaspal K Kalsi
MBACP (Snr Accred)
HCPC Reg’d Counselling Psychologist
NCS Accredited Counselling Supervisor
Online / Email Counselling
We can all experience difficulties at some point in our life, and it can be a brave first-step to engage with counselling/psychotherapy. I aim to offer you a safe, confidential space where you can talk through your difficulties, situation and feelings. Over my 20 years experience as a therapist, I have often witnessed how counselling can help people make sense of their difficulties, and discover new ways of coping. You can gain new insights and understandings about your emotional difficulties, your behaviour and your relationships, that help you to consider the best way forward for you, in order to feel more positive and fulfilled within your life.
Throughout my experience, I have worked with a host of clients, from a diverse range of backgrounds. I specialise in a wide range of issues such as anxiety, stress, low mood and depression, personal relationships, low confidence, self-esteem issues, loss and bereavement, family issues, cultural issues, personal/academic struggles whilst at university, food and eating related issues, alcohol related difficulties, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive tendencies, phobias, and self-harm.
I offer short-term and long-term counselling to adults either in-person, via telephone or online via Zoom. I am also able to see 16 and 17 year olds, in-person only. I also offer supervision to qualified Counsellors and Trainee Counsellors.
Training, qualifications & experience
Masters in Counselling Psychology, 2000.
Advanced PG Diploma in Counselling Supervision, 2014.
Certificate in Online Counselling Skills, 2015.
I qualified with a Masters in Counselling Psychology in 2000, and went on to complete an Advanced Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling Supervision (accredited by the NCS), as well as a Certificate in Online Counselling Skills. I am a Senior Accredited member with the BACP. I am also a registered Counselling Psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
I have worked within a number of voluntary and statutory NHS settings including Victim Support, Aquarius(Asian Alcohol Advice Centre), NHS Mental Health / Psychology Services, and NHS Staff Support Services. I have also worked as a Counsellor at 2 UK University Counselling Services for about 10 years to date, offering counselling to adults and young people.
Member organisations
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.
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.
