Lisa Davies H Dip Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy, Reg BACP
About me
I am a fully qualified Integrative Counsellor with 8 years' post graduating experience and am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy with all the necessary professional insurances in place for online and face to face sessions. I provide a warm, empathic service where Clients can explore their concerns without fear of judgement.
If you're unsure whether or not Counselling is for you, please feel free to contact me for an informal chat or text me your details and I'll ring you back at a mutually convenient time. Most important for me is being 'real', being genuine during the session with the person in front of me.
Training, qualifications & experience
I achieved the HND in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy at University of Glamorgan in 2012. I have a wide range of experience of Counselling adults and young people with a range of issues including bereavement and loss, suicidal feelings and thoughts, anger and difficulty regulating emotions, generalised anxiety, depression, issues with self-harm, adverse childhood experiences and past trauma, OCD behaviours and substance misuse as well as family conflict and difficulties within relationship. I also have significant experience of supporting individuals with their self-development as a whole and of helping them develop resiliency and emotional intelligence.
As an Integrative Therapist, I would look to incorporate a wide range of therapies holistically with each client as an individual and unique human being. One approach does not fit everyone! I would often explore valuable Mindfulness-based CBT coping strategies with clients in order to help them manage their emotions on a daily basis outside the Counselling room and it can sometimes be useful to conduct sessions outside on a pleasant 'Mindful' walk in the countryside or at a beach to explore techniques to their fullest.
If you cannot contact me by telephone call, it may be that I am in a Counselling session so please feel free to leave a message on my mobile number or send a text leaving your contact details and I will return your call as soon as I can.
Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
