When deciding on a therapist there is a lot to take into account, or at least it can feel that way. Like most things these days there is a lot of variety out there and sometimes it can be confusing and hard to know where to begin.

 

What do you look for?

What is important?

 

Qualifications, training and experience are all important factors and there are simple things you can look for, such as;

BACP membership – or membership of another professional body (including UKCP/UKATA among others)

Comprehensive Training with a recognised organisation

Professional Insurance

 

Beyond that though, how do you know what and who is right for you? A while back I made a video to better introduce myself for anyone who was curious about entering into therapy or counselling with me.
