BACP Definition of Counselling and information 

Counselling and psychotherapy are umbrella terms that cover a range of talking therapies. They are delivered by trained practitioners who work with people over a short or long term to help them bring about effective change or enhance their well being.

The BACP Register is the first psychological therapists’ register to be accredited under a new scheme set up by the Department of Health and administered by an independent body, accountable to Parliament.

Members of the public can now choose a counsellor or psychotherapist belonging to a register approved by the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care.

 

Counselling can be a daunting prospect to some people but it can change your life, so if you have any questions or need some information, then email newhorizons3@btinternet.com and give your name, telephone number and a brief description of what you would like counselling to help you with

If you would like to discuss your issues via a phone call, then that can be arranged

 A personal information form needs completing, and then an initial consultation can be booked

The consultation is 90 minutes, then you can book more sessions if you would like to

There is no obligation 

A majority of clients book more sessions after their initial consultation
