About me
Michelle Brown, Integrative Therapist (MBCAP)
I am an experienced Psychotherapist and I work with individuals, intimate relationships, couples and families. I believe that how we are in our relationships is at the centre of many the pleasures of life, as well as at the centre of the difficulties we meet in both our personal and professional lives.
My approach to therapy is to honour the intention to understand, heal and improve ourselves in all of our relationships. Taking responsibility for ourselves is just part of the journey towards healthier and happier times, and my approach is to support clients to develop understanding and to evolve personal strategies for change. Positive change is always worth the effort, for ourselves and for all those we are in close and important relationships with.
I have worked as a Psychotherapist and Relationship Therapist for many years and I have a Masters degree in Relationship Therapy and a Post Grad certification in Psychosexual Therapy. I am a Registered Member of the B.A.C.P. and hold a registration with the IFS Institute. I have studied many theoretical approaches to therapy and bring a pluralistic approach to my work which draws on many schools of wisdoms and practices.

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.
