About me
I believe we learn and grow primarily through our relationships and the same applies in counselling: it is the relationship of trust and safety which enables change and growth.
When we struggle with recurring thoughts, feelings or behaviours, it can be useful to look at what might be going on 'behind the scenes'. We tend to avoid uncomfortable emotions and memories because experiencing them is painful, but they usually make themselves known somehow, despite our best efforts.
We may try to distract ourselves with work, social media, exercise, cleaning, alcohol, shopping, etc. Some have the additional stress of an identity which is stigmatised and marginalised in our society.
Revisiting early relationships can be invaluable. What did your parents, caregivers, school or culture teach you about life and relationships? What did you come to believe about yourself? What did you have to do to fit in or feel loved? Are you still doing it now and what might it be costing you?

Registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and bound by its code of ethics: https://www.bacp.co.uk/media/3103/bacp-ethical-framework-for-the-counselling-professions-2018.pdf
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.
