Counselling
Our counselling service is accredited by the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) which is the UK’s largest professional body representing counselling and psychotherapy. We submit a report to them on an annual basis to ensure our service continues to meet the accreditation criteria, so our clients can be certain that our counselling service adheres to high standards of quality and accountability.
