Member organisations *

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

We have verified that at least one professional at this organisation is registered with the relevant professional body.

We also offer Lifespan Integration therapy which works on a deep level to promote rapid healing in adults who were abused or neglected as children, PICT which assists the client to bring about rapid and positive change, Emotional Freedom Technique, an energy therapy rather like acupuncture but without the needles  which can lead to remarkable alterations in the body's energy patterns and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy which teaches clients to follow the inherently intelligent processes of body and mind to promote healing.  It is particuarly helpful in working with the effects of trauma and abuse, emotional pain and limiting belief systems.
