About me
Hello, I am Veronica. I am a practising Counsellor since 2016. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work within their ethical framework to ensure a safe and professional practice.
Over the years, I have learnt that often the presenting issue is not the main issue. My role is to help you explore the root cause, or if you prefer, we can focus on whatever is concerning you right now. This would be done in a safe and confidential place where you can explore your thoughts and feelings to identify the triggers and together, work on coping strategies that meet your needs. I will listen without judging and help you through this process using a range of therapeutic interventions, drawing on my experience and with empathy. My work includes an integrative counselling model, which includes humanistic, psychodynamic, cognitive therapies & transactional analysis.

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.
