YPAS’s Counselling and Psychotherapy Service has successfully gained BACP Service Accreditation

September 3, 2019

The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy is the professional association for members of the counselling professions in the UK.

We are delighted to have gained this service accreditation through demonstrating the work that we do here at YPAS and the level of commitment we have to promoting high standards

BACP accreditation is a well-recognised and valued quality status for services. BACP accreditation schemes aim to recognise the achievement of high standards of knowledge, experience and development in counselling and psychotherapy.

We are proud to demonstrate that we have met the required standards after completing a rigorous application and assessment process.

Counselling changes not just the lives of individuals, but of families and communities.

Amazing, thank you for the information and support. It's a scary world being a parent to a child with ASD but now I feel there is light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Such a lovely, friendly team. Thank you.

I worked with Emily. I enjoyed talking about what's going on in my life whilst it is being fun, it's never 'there's something wrong', it's always 'how do we help you' which I like. Emily is amazing, she's helped me so much and she's just a lovely person!!!

YPAS was the first organisation that took me in and also the quickest, Sonia helped me get through a very difficult stage in my life and has bettered me as a person. I feel better equipped to deal with situations in life and my mental health has improved overall because of it.

My son has loved coming to sessions each week with Lisa. He has calmed down a lot. This has been a fantastic service with people who genuinely care. Thank you, Lisa!

I felt progression and I found my strength and resilience through the sessions. I am proud of myself for staying strong and showing my commitment through the past months of my sessions. I also gained a handful of coping strategies and I maintained my balance by controlling my worries.
