About me
Hello my name is Julia. I am a BACP accredited Counsellor offering a warm, confidential space where you can feel heard and understood in a supportive and non-judgmental way.
You may be feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed, misunderstood, disconnected from others. The reasons behind these feelings might be obvious to you, or perhaps seem like a mystery, and despite trying to convince yourself that all is well, those thoughts and feelings are all too real and continue to trouble you.
We will work at your pace with what you feel comfortable sharing. This might include unresolved feelings from the past, conflicts in the present or worries about the future. You will always get to decide what you share and I will use my professional skills to support you in gaining a deeper understanding of yourself, a greater awareness of your choices in working towards personal growth and the possibility of change.

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.

Further information
I understand that not everyone knows what they want from therapy or how to choose a therapist to suit their needs. For this reason I offer a free 20 minute consultation during which we will have a conversation so that you can see how it feels to talk with me and from there you can make an informed decision as to whether you would like to begin working together.
