About me
Hi there and thanks for viewing my profile.
My name is Pam and I am a qualified, and accredited, BACP registered counsellor, with 8+ experience working in the NHS, Counseling charities, and private practice.
We all deserve ‘peace of mind’ but sometimes things happen that we can struggle with. When this is the case often what we need to get back on track is a safe place to share and someone willing to listen. Here at ‘Peace Of Mind’ Counselling, I offer a safe, non-judgemental space, for people from all walks of life, to explore what they maybe struggling with.
I offer face to face counselling in Redditch. I also offer electronic meeting, and telephone counselling. I work with you on whatever you want to bring into counselling.
It can be daunting taking those first steps to get help but rest assured, you will be welcomed with a smile and a friendly person centred approach, to help you feel as comfortable as you can be. So allow me to help you on a journey to find your own peace of mind!

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.
