I am registered with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy UKCP, a Senior Accredited Member the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy BACP, and an Affiliated Member of the British Psychological Society BPS. I am also a Member of the Metanoia Insitute MPTI and the Forum for Independent (psychoanalytic) Psychotherapists FIP.  I adhere to all their code of ethics and am bound by their complaints procedures.
 

An important aspect of any counselling or psychotherapeutic relationship is confidentiality. It is an important ethical premise that unless you are in danger of hurting yourself or someone else, or I am compelled by a court of law, confidentiality will be maintained.
 

Any therapist working with the ethical framework of the UKCP, the BACP, the UKRC, the MPTI and the FIP also has a professional obligation to maintain an ongoing programme of professional development. This includes consultation on a regular basis with an experienced practitioner to ensure that the highest ethical standards are maintained.
