Finding a counsellor

It’s sometimes hard to know where to start especially if you have never been to a counsellor before.

Asking questions about a counsellor’s qualifications and experiences is a good start to ensure you are working with someone who has trained to be a counsellor.

The BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists) has a useful ‘Find A Therapist’ page where counsellors can only be listed if they are qualified.

You can pretty much guarantee that a counsellor will have had counselling themselves so they will remember what it feels like to be a client making an enquiries for the first time.
