Editorial Standards
Last updated: April 2026
1. Who Writes This Content
All content on rb-counselling.com is written by Raymond, an Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a registered member of the College of Sex and Relationship Therapists (COSRT). Raymond holds a professional qualification in integrative counselling and has specialist training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and psychosexual therapy.
Raymond draws on direct clinical experience working with individuals and couples across a wide range of mental health and relationship concerns. Content reflects his professional judgment and is grounded in established therapeutic frameworks, not general information sourced from third parties.
2. Clinical Accuracy
All therapeutic claims and clinical information on this site are based on recognised evidence-based approaches. Where guidance from professional bodies applies — including BACP ethical frameworks and COSRT practice standards — content reflects those standards.
This site does not publish generalised health advice derived from unverified sources. Content is written from the perspective of an accredited practitioner applying clinical knowledge, not a content writer interpreting medical literature. Where scientific literature is referenced, it is drawn from peer-reviewed sources or recognised professional body publications.
3. Content Review Process
Raymond personally reviews all content before it is published. For blog articles covering clinical topics, this review process includes verifying that therapeutic descriptions align with current evidence-based practice, that no claims are made that exceed what the therapy can reasonably offer, and that content is appropriate for a general public readership seeking to understand their options.
As a BACP-accredited practitioner, Raymond also maintains regular clinical supervision with a qualified supervisor. Insights from supervision inform ongoing content accuracy and practice reflection.
4. Content Freshness
Content pages on this site display a visible "Last updated" date. This date reflects the most recent substantive content revision — not routine formatting changes. Raymond reviews key content pages periodically and whenever relevant guidance from BACP, COSRT, or the wider therapeutic community changes in a way that affects accuracy.
If you notice content that appears out of date or inaccurate, please contact us at R.B.Counselling@outlook.com.
5. Editorial Independence
This website carries no advertising, sponsored content, affiliate links, or commercial relationships that influence what is written. Content reflects Raymond's professional clinical judgment and his commitment to transparent, ethical practice — not external commercial interests.
In accordance with BACP and COSRT professional codes and UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA/CAP) rules, this site does not publish client testimonials or endorsements. Trust is built through transparency about qualifications, process, and approach — not through third-party validation.
