Accreditation.

I am a BABCP accredited CBT Psychotherapist.

I am also an accredited EMDR Practitioner (EMDR Europe)

For Cognitive Behaviour Therapy the only accrediting body for the UK is the BABCP (British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies). If your CBT therapist isn’t BABCP accredited, they probably haven’t had a specialist, extensive post-graduate CBT training at Masters level.

The CBT Register UK is a public register of accredited BABCP members. BABCP is the lead organisation for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in the UK and Ireland. The aim of the Register is to protect the public, employers and other agencies by helping them find CBT therapists who have met BABCP required standards.

EMDR UK also operate a similar register of accredited EMDR Europe Practitioners.

Accreditation means that a CBT/EMDR therapist has both core professional mental health training, as well as specific CBT/EMDR training. To be accredited by BABCP/EMDR Europe, therapists must have applied and demonstrated that they meet high standards of training and experience in CBT/EMDR.

Accreditation demonstrates a commitment to maintaining high standards of clinical practice, clinical supervision and continuing professional development. Accredited members are audited by BABCP to ensure that they continue to meet these expectations.

All members agree to abide by BABCP Standards of Conduct, Performance and Ethics. Complaints about members who may have breached these standards can be made using the complaints and disciplinary process. for BABCP members.

I receive regular monthly clinical supervision from an experienced Accredited CBT Therapist and EMDR Consultant and separate Schema Therapy supervision from a Clinical Psychologist. I am currently part of a monthly consultation group that focuses on EMDR and Somatic Psychology.

I regularly attend training and workshops to maintain my own continuing professional development.

I am fully accredited with BABCP/EMDR Europe and am also registered as a Social Worker with Social Work England.

I am in the process of Schema Therapy Accreditation too.

I am GDPR compliant and follow best practice guidelines for storage of personal data and notes and will discuss this with you during our first session.

I hold full liability insurance with Balens.

I have an Enhanced DBS Criminal Record Check.
