About Diana
Diana R. Hattersley
B.Sc., (Hons) Psych. Prof Dip., Couns
MBACP, MBPsS, Prof MS
Through my experience in an Adult Wellbeing Centre, which supports people with problems dealing with social inclusion, I have worked with a wide range of individuals. I am also a voluntary counsellor at a Local Authority funded Carers Centre which supports people who are struggling as unpaid carers for family members. I also have 14 years’ experience working in a senior administrative role in a child psychology department in the NHS.
Professional Accreditation & Memberships
It is understandable that you may be wary of visiting a counsellor or psychotherapist and it is therefore advisable to choose one who is a member of a professional body. There are various professional bodies (also known as member organisations) that take on the role of regulating counselling/psychotherapy services. While counsellors and psychotherapists are under no legal obligation to become a member of a professional body, membership will mean they meet certain requirements and abide by a code of ethics and complaints procedure.
I am a full member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work according to their principles and ethics. This includes holding appropriate public liability and professional indemnity insurance.
I am also a member of the British Psychological Society.
