About me
You Have Taken A Big Step: Maybe you are feeling unclear right now, or you may have a sense that things are not as you would like them to be. Perhaps you need someone to talk to, someone to share those thoughts, feelings and behaviours that can often get stuck and feel unchangeable. Or it could be that you know what you want from your life, but unsure how to change certain behaviours that can be limiting.
Whichever is the case you have come to the right place! Counselling can be a good place to start exploring all your feelings, thoughts and behaviours. You can start to have more clarity around who you are and help build your emotional wellbeing.
Many people feel nervous about seeing a counsellor. This feeling is understandable, but in addition to our physical needs like food, water, and shelter, every one of us has emotional needs too. Often people seek counselling for a specific reason, such as bereavement, substance misuse, relationship issues, or important life decisions but it doesn’t have to be related to a major life event. Many of us will have had difficult experiences at some stage of our lives that may have affected our self-esteem and our ability to make good choices for ourselves. This is where counselling can be beneficial for everyone.

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.
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).
