Counselling Psychology is a distinct profession within the British Psychological Society (BPS) which aims at developing models of therapeutic practice that are effective, evidence-based and appropriate to clients’ needs. These models seek to understand empathically and respect people’s accounts about themselves and the world. Counselling Psychology has a firm value base grounded in the primacy of the psychotherapeutic relationship and works always to demonstrate high standards of anti-discriminatory practice.
Chartered Counselling Psychologists are trained to help individuals who are experiencing psychological distress in their lives. The therapeutic approach (including the number and frequency of the sessions) varies depending on each individual client’s circumstances and symptoms. Through therapy, clients have an opportunity to develop a better understanding of themselves, their difficulties and how past relationships may have influenced their ways of thinking, feeling and behaving in the present.
