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.

Testimonials; How people experience counselling with me
Seeing Roz has been an amazing journey, I have found my true self worth, helped me realise who I am and that I deserve so much more than what I was receiving. Roz helped me work out how to get where I am and believe in myself. I don't think anyone else could have helped me get here, Roz is a kind and caring soul with so much knowledge and experience. I never felt that she judged me, she listened to my every word and I felt stronger after spending even just an hour with her, she helped me deal with difficulties from my childhood which impacted on how I feel about myself today. I feel at peace and will trust myself now. We all need guidance and support in our lives when we feel lost, and Roz will help you reach your goal as she has me, more than she will know.

I've struggled for years with my problems and never known how to deal with them! I tried 6 different counsellors over the years and always ended up feeling the same - these people don't get me, they can't help and this isn't for me. Roz has been an absolute godsend for me. I knew from the very first session she was different and left that day with a real sense of optimism.
She was a total breath of fresh air and I can't begin to describe how different I feel and how much better my life is. Roz has helped me so much. Work is better, relationships are better, life is better, I'm better! I've been on an amazing journey of self discovery and can honestly say (at 31 years old) I finally feel alive, I finally feel I can become who I'm supposed to become. I could have never imagined writing that last sentence months ago. I can only thank Roz so, so much for all of her help and without any doubt say I'd recommend her to anyone.
