About me
Smita Melling
Practitioner Psychologist, MSc, MBA and registered with HCPC and MBACP. Member of MBPsS, BABCP & ISCP
I am confident in liaising with clients in order to deliver high-quality, confidential, ethical and empathy-driven counselling services to reach solution-focused goals in a non-judgmental and non-advisory setting. I am experienced in building collaborative working relationships with clients across different cultures. I have a passion to work with people in order to help them make a positive impact on their lives. I continually seek personal development and am passionate about counselling, coaching and mentoring people.
I have work experience as a Counselling Psychologist using mostly solution-focused and cognitive therapy while working in corporates and Employee Assistance Program services for various everyday-life and professional concerns. I am a counselling psychologist by qualification living in London and also a member of the British Psychological Society.
My academic and work experience has given me the skills to work with people from a variety of backgrounds. My ability to work under pressure has been illustrated by my handling management roles in the past. I have also gained industry experience in Human Resources and I am keen to mentor people who wish to bring positivity and empowerment to their lives.

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)
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
Accredited Register Scheme
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).
