Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
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).

I am a registered member of Bacp and took a training in counselling psychology which means I am also in addition a chartered psychologist registerd with the HCPC.
I have worked for the Nhs Bupa and various charities.
I work with depression, anxiety, stress, life changes, acquired disability or illness. New diagnoses which may feel like all your familiar anchors are gone.
I find we often adopt ways to cope some of which become unhelpful in the end and this is when we quite naturally need that helping hand to transition to become our authentic selves.
We all experience difficult life events at some point and this can often lead to that feeling of loss and I am here to listen and mirror those feelings so that we can begin to understand how things are for you and work through. With this light I am here to support you as you progress on to being your authentic self and gain confidence.
I have experience from my working life but also lived experience of vision loss and loss which means I am able to be that vessel that you need and supporting hand.
Whether it is loss or difference you experience contact me and we can begin this journey together.
Please contact me for a brief chat if you have questions and arrange an initial session.
Both weekly and fortnightly sessions can be arranged if appropriate for the issues discussed.
Come and be yourself, whichever feels comfortable please don’t hesitate to request.
I would encourage you to try the range of help that you can access and see what works for you, I am only here to empower you and work in your interest.
