Rebecca Hardy - PGDip, MA, MBACP, MCIPD
About me
I am a qualified and registered counsellor with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, offering counselling support to adults (18+) within York city centre.
There are situations in life that may have led you to feel unable to cope, judged, isolated, or not believed.
Sometimes the reason for this is clear, and we know where to seek help, but at other times it is not.
Drawing upon a range of approaches and techniques tailored to your needs, I will assist in helping you to explore your thoughts and feelings to find clarity, build upon your inner resources and live life more fully.
At our initial session, without obligation, we will explore your needs and what you are hoping to achieve from therapy.
Counselling is for your benefit, the number of sessions can be as short or as long as you need them to be and are conducted in a safe, calm and confidential environment.
You will be heard, respected, and understood, without judgement.

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
