About me
Melanie Macro MSt (Oxon), BA, MBACP.
Psychodynamic therapist specialising in counselling adults and children aged 11+.
I am an experienced counsellor working with adults and children in a variety of settings. In-person sessions are currently available in Hungerford for adults and children, and online.
Training, qualifications & experience
I'm a qualified Psychodynamic Psychotherapist with a Masters degree in Psychodynamic Practice from the University of Oxford, a rigorous 4 year training, where I graduated with distinction. I am now a guest lecturer on the Oxford University psychotherapy diploma course.
I have worked for a number of years in community mental health clinics, secondary schools and in specialist NHS providers. I am currently school counsellor at Wallingford School and an outpatient support therapist at the Clinic for Dissociative Studies, a national centre of specialist expertise in dissociative disorders; as well as my private practice in Hungerford, Berks.
I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. I have a current Enhanced DBS and have completed full safeguarding training and exams in Berkshire and Oxfordshire.
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.
