About me

What happened in your childhood?  How does it affect you now?

Not everyone has a wonderful childhood/teenage.  Unfortunately, bad things happen!

You may have been loved and well provided for, yet your caregivers were emotionally unavailable to you.  It could be an illness or death of a caregiver.  You may have witnessed something difficult, or something happened directly to you like abuse or bullying.  This is not an exhaustive list.

As a child you find it difficult to know what to do with strong emotions and these might not be acceptable by your caregivers.  You may not have known where to turn, sometimes not fully understanding what has happened.  Feeling churned up with difficult feelings you have never experienced before, let alone knowing how to deal with them.

Childhood adversities can affect how you interact with other people and how you see yourself.  You might find it difficult to express yourself, or to articulate how you feel.  You may be trying to hide yourself or parts of you that you find shameful.  Connecting with other people can be difficult.

There can be long-lasting affects like feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or suicidal.  Feeling unworthy of another person's love, feelings of not being good enough or of being punished for something, confusion, not trusting yourself or anyone else.  It can become an internal battle to get through each day as you feel disorganised, doubt yourself, suffer self-loathing or feel exhausted making decisions large and small.

If you recognise any of the above counselling can help you.

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.
