About me
Hey!
Thank you for visiting my profile. My name is Neil, I am a BACP registered Humanistic Integrative Counsellor. I offer a confidential, safe space where you can explore whatever might be troubling you. My Integrative approach means that I utilise a range of different psychotherapeutic traditions, coupled with a warm and friendly atmosphere. You can find out a little more on what an Integrative approach in counselling means here if you like - https://www.bacp.co.uk/about-therapy/types-of-therapy/integrative-counselling/
My training has involved working with people both long and short-term in a method that may work best for them. I place huge importance on ensuring that a trusting, nurturing, and supportive relationship exists with anyone I work with.
It can be quite nerve-wracking finding a counsellor to work with and I offer a quick free phone call to see if I may be the right person for you.

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.
