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.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.

Further information
CHILDREN & TEENS. Young people are pressurised from an early age. There are expectations put upon them to reach targets in school with secondary school adding to the pressure not just around re adjusting to the environment but by adding homework & exam pressure. Then there is social pressure & the need to feel popular/fit in. Peer pressure & relationship issues along with hormonal & physical changes can make it very difficult for developing brains to manage emotions, make decisions, reason & control inhibitions. Parents can find themselves stuck in constant chaotic turmoil struggling & tired not knowing how to help the situation. I offer therapy & coaching in a bespoke form to young people & their families to manage pressure and get control back in to their lives.
Family disputes/separation are also issues I can help with.
ADULTS. Life changes can cause us to feel out of control whether it is something to do with work, finances, family or social situations, sometimes we can feel stuck & uncertain what to do. Uncertainty causes stress and anxiety which, if not treated, can become a 'way of being' (a habit). I can help you to find ways through your anxieties so that you can get back into the driving seat & feel in control again. Call for an informal chat to discuss how I can help.
I am a Clinical Supervisor with experience in working with both trainees & qualified Therapists. I offer 1-1 or group support in Supervision & training therapy.
