About me

Hello, I'm Susan and I am a BACP accredited counsellor offering support to those looking to work on self-esteem, confidence, goal setting and much more. I am here to help guide and facilitate everything you already have and need within you by building a strong foundation of trust and safety. I will work closely with you to ensure we engage in the right kind of work - completely tailored to your individuality. If you need help, please don't hesitate to contact me. You can find more details on my website at Next Right Thing.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am trained in pluralistic counselling from Abertay University which has enabled me to be thorough in my approach to various aspects of therapy. I have also worked as a coach for many years and am experienced in helping build confidence, enhancing self worth and providing a safe place to explore your needs. I am an accredited member of the BACP,  ensuring my work is underpinned by strong ethical and moral standards.

Member organisations

BACP
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

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).
