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.

Additional information
Thinking of Face-to-Face Sessions (UK)? Is it time to break away from the screens and meet your therapist in person? It won't be awkward, just a new experience...Think of it as a safe investment and a positive move towards self-care.
Investing in yourself is a significant step. It's natural to have concerns about efficacy, value and results.
Engaging in quality and expertise is an act of self-care; it's about prioritising your mental health & wellness and making a conscious choice to nurture and support yourself in an environment that suits your standards.
On booking, you gain access to an experienced therapist and proven methodologies, which can empower you to make informed decisions, take better control of your life trajectory and achieve your goals with greater confidence.
As you scroll through the list of counsellors, you may feel like you're looking for a needle in a haystack, yet your goal is to find a therapeutic relationship in an environment that you can trust to support your long-term success, and that is here!.
A Personalised and Bespoke Approach:
Tailored Treatment: Treatment plans are created specifically for each client's unique needs and goals.
Flexibility and Customisation: Ability to easily adjust schedules to accommodate busy lifestyles and preferences.
Private and Discreet: Counselling takes place in rustic yet spacious surroundings. A self-contained private practice inside a Grade 2 listed building that is neatly located in the centre of historic Leek, Staffordshire.
For your enjoyment, a selection of amenities is included: personal treats such as balm tissues, a vanity mirror and new combs; fidget toys to help you decompress; and a variety of beverages, both chilled and hot.
For added comfort, luxurious warm or weighted blankets are also available, but most importantly, you'll have space to think, to delve deeper and to truly meet yourself.
I look forward to meeting you soon
