Professional Registration

BACP Registration

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), member number 416139. I am a BACP registered member and am working toward BACP accreditation.

The BACP is the largest professional body for counselling and psychotherapy in the UK. As a registered member, I am bound by the BACP Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions, which sets out the standards of conduct, competence, and ethics expected of practitioners.

What Registration Means for You

Working with a registered therapist means:

• I have met the BACP's requirements for training, practice, and professional development
• I am bound by a formal ethical framework and code of conduct
• I am required to attend regular clinical supervision
• I am required to undertake ongoing continuing professional development (CPD)
• You can check my registration on the BACP register at any time
• You have access to an independent complaints procedure if needed

Qualifications

I hold a Master's degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Roehampton. My full qualifications are: Certificate in Dissociation and DID: The Fundamentals (Carolyn Spring, 2024), Diploma in Neuroplasticity (Centre of Excellence, 2023), Mental Health First Aid (MHFA England, 2022), CIPD Level 3 Diploma in Human Resources Practice (Avado Learning, 2020), Certificate in Humanistic Counselling Skills and Studies (Metanoia Institute, 2014), and a BA (Hons) in English Language and Linguistics (University of Roehampton, 2012).

Clinical Supervision

All practising therapists are required to attend regular clinical supervision. This means I meet with an experienced supervisor to discuss my work, reflect on my practice, and ensure I am working safely and ethically. Your identity is always protected in supervision – I do not share your name or identifying details. For more on how your information is handled, see Confidentiality.

Continuing Professional Development

I am committed to ongoing professional development. This includes specialist training, research, and attending professional events to ensure my practice stays current and evidence-based.
