Our Therapists are all professionally trained and registered/members with one of the following: BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), UKCP (United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapists) or BPC (British Psychoanalytic Council). They all have an interest in and experience of working with issues related to death, loss and bereavement.

As an organisation we are a member of BACP and adhere to their code of ethics and practice.

We offer supervised placements for therapists in training. All our therapists on placement are undertaking in-depth courses in counselling or psychotherapy that are accredited with either BACP, UKCP OR BPC and they adhere to the BACPs code of ethics, alongside the code of ethics of their training organisation.

We do not routinely inform clients they are seeing a therapist on placement however if a client has any queries about the experience of their therapist, please feel free to discuss this at any stage of your contact with The Harbour. If you would prefer not to see a therapist on placement this can be discussed at your initial assessment meeting. We have a clear and thoughtful allocation process which seeks to allocate clients to therapists who are best able to meet their needs.
