About me
Hello, my name is Kay and I am a professional counsellor/psychotherapist offering a warm, empathic and confidential therapy service in the village of Wombourne, near Wolverhampton.
My counselling approach is one which absolutely values, respects and appreciates that every person and their life experience is unique. No two individuals experience life and what it presents in the same way, which is a common misconception in the wider world. This may be why, when people seek help by sharing problems with family and friends they may not feel truly heard, which can leave a person feeling isolated, vulnerable and alone with their emotional pain, unsure of what to do next.
Numerous factors contribute towards who we are and how we are able to deal with the difficulties life may throw at us. It is important to realise that your problems, issues or concerns and the feelings and emotions attached to them are very much your own and so is your way of processing them. This is what you and I working together will aim to help you discover and work towards positive change.
Training, qualifications & experience
My professional status is that I am an MBACP, which means I am a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists and adhere to the BACP Ethical Framework for Practice. My name can be found on the Professional Standards Authority accredited register.
My qualifications include a BA Honours Degree in Integrative Counselling and a Professional Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. I also hold certificates for professionally working with people who have been affected by domestic violence and abuse and sexual violence and abuse and people who have been affected by the effects of crime including bereavement.
All of my professional counselling and psychotherapy work has been one to one with Primary and Secondary Care NHS patients. This includes on site clinic work and also community work, visiting Secondary Care patients in their own homes and liaising with their broader mental health teams to manage and support patients’ mental health difficulties.
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.
