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.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
People who need one to one counselling, adults and children, couples and family counselling or to join group therapy are welcome. Face to face, telephone and video.
Narcissism NPD Naccissistic personality disorder
Many people are effected by narcissism. Either by a parent or parents or by a loved one ie spouse, sibling or friend.
Being caught up in the web of a naccisist can leave a person broken, empty, drained, feelings of suicide, feelings of insanity.
Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a personality disorder in which there is a long-term pattern of abnormal behavior characterized by exaggerated feelings of self-importance, an excessive need for admiration, and a lack of understanding of others' feelings.
Naccisist are capable of many unkind things. Cheating, compulsive lying, cruelty, abuse of all types.
If you have been effected by someone who has NPD then you probably would benefit from counselling, so you can work on building your life up again. Work on your self esteem and self worth. Help you to have boundaries to avoid attracting these people into your life. Or maybe you are in a relationship at the moment and you can’t find a way out.
Counselling is the way forward.
