Member organisations
Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Mindfulness Courses & Workshops
I have been teaching Mindfulness since 2010, and over that time there has been a growing interest for more and more people in this new way of being. I believe that many are now beginning to realise that their busy, fast paced, multi-tasking lives are having a negative impact on their wellbeing. If we are trying to do too much at once, our internal chatter can go in to overdrive and our bodies begin to bear the brunt, resulting in feelings of stress, anxiety or anger. We find we spend a lot of time with our head until we are almost completely disconnected from our body.
Mindfulness invites a new, kinder approach that aims to look at the whole self. My Mindfulness courses and workshops offer you the opportunity to begin mindfully noticing your own way of living. You will be able to practice tuning in to your daily routines in a different way and understand your stress, or other overwhelming feelings, in a way that may offer you more choice in how you respond to situations in the future.
Every session also introduces a mindful meditation exercise which is one of the ways in which you can practice mindfulness.
