About me
Jaspal K Kalsi
MBACP (Accred)
HCPC Reg’d Counselling Psychologist
NCS Accredited Counselling Supervisor
Online / Email Counselling
With over 24 years of experience as a BACP Accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist and HCPC Reg'd Counselling Psychologist, I offer a warm, safe, confidential and supportive space where you can openly explore the difficulties you may be facing. Taking the first step towards counselling or psychotherapy can feel daunting initially, but it can also be the beginning of meaningful change, greater self-understanding and a more fulfilling life and relationships.
I have worked with clients from a wide range of diverse backgrounds across NHS, voluntary and private practice settings, and have extensive specialised experience supporting people with generalised anxiety, stress, depression, low mood, relationship difficulties, attachment issues, low confidence and self-esteem challenges, bereavement and loss, family and cultural issues, family estrangement, identity concerns, university life and academic pressures, eating and food-related difficulties, alcohol-related issues, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive tendencies, phobias, self-harm and other deeply entrenched harmful ways of coping.
My approach is integrative, combining CBT, person-centred therapy and psychodynamic understanding, thoughtfully tailored to your individual needs. Together, we can develop deeper insight into your emotions, behaviours and relationships, helping you build a stronger sense of self, develop healthier coping strategies, and feel more empowered within yourself and in your relationships with others. This process can support you in moving forward with greater confidence, clarity and fulfilment.
I offer short-term and long-term counselling to adults either in-person, online or via telephone. I am also able to see 16 and 17 year olds, in-person only. I also offer supervision to qualified Counsellors and Trainee Counsellors.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
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.
