About me

Hi, I’m Natalia, and I set up Inicio Counselling as I am passionate that everybody should have somewhere to go where they are listened to and prioritised. Whether life is getting a bit on top at the moment, you’ve experienced things in the past you want to resolve, or you just feel you need someone to listen, Inicio are here for you. 

Inicio is a professional counselling service that offers flexible appointments online to fit around our clients. 

Our values we strive for are notice, nurture, transform and grow. 

Training, qualifications & experience

After a career of first response, disaster management and caring, I decided to train as a counsellor in 2022. I have completed my level 3 and level 4 counselling diplomas, along with hours of training in other areas. I also had the pleasure of having a year and a half at a children and young people’s counselling practice, which was extremely insightful. 

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.

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.
