Manchester Institute for Psychotherapy -song-a personal tribute
Yvonne Meidlinger
I have many years experience working in the caring professions. I completed a post graduate diploma in Social Work and spent time working with the elderly and disabled. In recent years I decided to train in psychotherapy after experiencing the benefits of this process for myself. As I have been through therapy myself, I know how difficult it can be to begin this process, but have also experienced the great benefits. I like to work using our relationship, and do this in a warm and empathic way. I believe that the therapist and client come together as a team to work through issues that may stand in the way of you reaching your potential. Through the training, I have mainly used Transactional Analysis, but also have some experience working in a solution-focused way and like to work integratively as each person is an individual who may like to work in a different way.
As a therapist I offer one-to-one confidential counselling and psychotherapy . I am experienced in working with clients who are struggling with:
- Depression
- Stress
- Anxiety
- Low self-esteem
- Relationship issues
- Childhood issues
- Stress in the workplace.

Manchester Institute for Psychotherapy – Equality and Diversity Policy – 2019
Introduction
The Manchester Institute for Psychotherapy (MIP) promotes an active engagement with difference. We seeks to provide a framework that allows for diverse ideas and perspectives on what it means to be human, to be considered, respected and valued.
MIP is committed to addressing issues of prejudice and discrimination in relation to the mental wellbeing, political belief, gender and gender identity, sexual preference or orientation, disability, marital or partnership status, maternity and pregnancy, race, nationality, ethnic origin, heritage identity, religious or spiritual identity, age or socio-economic class of individuals and groups.
MIP keeps its policies and procedures under review in order to ensure that the realities of discrimination, exclusion, oppression and alienation that may form part of the experience of its members, as well as of their clients, are addressed appropriately. MIP seeks to ensure that the practice of psychotherapy is utilised in the service of the celebration of human difference and diversity, and that at no time is psychotherapy used as a means of coercion or oppression of any group or individual.
MIP recognises and values diversity and difference and as a result, it is working actively to ensure that its services are non discriminatory in nature.
This Policy was developed with reference to all current Government legislation and guidelines to good practice and applies to the whole organisation and includes all members.
Equality And Diversity Statement
MIP is committed to promoting equality, inclusion and diversity and works to ensure that its processes are fair, transparent, objective and free from discrimination. MIP expects that these values are upheld by any person involved with MIP.
Accountability
The Institute Director is responsible for ensuring that this policy is implemented in all aspects of the Institute’s operations.
The Quality & Ethics Committee is responsible for the monitoring and review of this Policy and for evaluating its effectiveness.
All staff members, trainers and therapists of the Institute have a responsibility for implementing all aspects of this Policy within the area they manage, and for ensuring that effective monitoring and review systems are maintained.
HARASSMENT AND BULLYING POLICY AND PROCEDURES
POLICY STATEMENT
It is the intention of MIP that all members, clients and visitors are treated with respect, courtesy and integrity whilst involved in any aspect of the Institute. To this end, the Institute will seek to provide a safe and supportive environment in which everyone is able to study or work to the best of their abilities, free from harassment, bullying or intimidation or fear of these. MIP will not tolerate any behaviour from members, clients or visitors which may constitute harassment. Members, clients and visitors have the right to complain about behaviour they find unacceptable and may take informal or formal action as set out in this Policy to end harassment.
RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES
It is the responsibility of all individuals to ensure that their own personal conduct is in accordance with this policy, that they treat others with the dignity they deserve and that they do not harass, bully or intimidate any member client or visitor of the Institute.
The Director has the overall responsibility for creating an environment and ethos which maintains the dignity of all members of the Institute and for setting standards and taking action, including disciplinary, to ensure that this Policy is implemented.
DEFINITIONS
Harassment can take many forms and it may involve action, behaviour, comment or physical contact which is found to be objectionable or which causes offence. It can include both physical and verbal violence. Harassment is always unwanted, unreasonable and offensive and can result in the recipient feeling threatened or humiliated as well as being physically and/or mentally abused. Such conduct creates an environment which can be intimidating, hostile or humiliating for the recipient.
Anyone who is perceived as different, or who is in a minority, or who lacks organisational power, runs the risk of being harassed. Thus, health, physical characteristics, personal beliefs and numerous other factors may lead to harassment.
This policy is regularly reviewed every 18 months and updated a minimum of every 36 months as necessary.
Revised June 2019

Manchester Institute For Psychotherapy – Continuing Professional Development Policy for Qualified Practitioners – 2019
In line with the recommendations of the UKCP CPD guidelines (2015) with the protection of the public held as paramount, psychotherapists must now provide evidence of annual CPD activities. This is required as evidence of “Good Practice” in maintaining their ability to perform their professional duties competently, and is reviewed every 5 years.
In parallel, psychotherapists must comply and meet the minimum clinical practice as stipulated by the UKCP. This will also need to be reviewed every 5 years.
MIP requires its members, who are practising psychotherapists or trainers, to maintain a comprehensive record of their CPD activities. Whilst recognising that CPD is often dynamic and evolving, MIP provides the following guidelines and recommendations:
(a) Wherever possible CPD activities and records should demonstrate a maintenance and improvement in standards of practice.
(b) CPD is to demonstrate active reflection on practice that allows the individual to identify what has been learned or reconfirmed.
(c) CPD is very broadly defined and can include any of the following: teaching, research, webinars, conferences, personal therapy, supervision, post qualification training and relevant work, placement or secondment experiences. The list is not exhaustive.
d) Registrants should be able to evidence how their CPD informs their practice with the client groups that they work with.
Supervision
In line with the qualified psychotherapist’s regulating body, it is the psychotherapist’s responsibility to meet and provide evidence of the minimum requirements stipulated. For more information please read the MIP Supervision Guidelines document.
Evidence
MIP can request evidence of CPD activities from any psychotherapists at any time.
Currently, the minimum CPD requirements for the UKCP are 20 hours per annum, with a total of 250 hours over a five year period.
In line with UKCP policy, psychotherapists must inform MIP and the UKCP if they have a break from clinical practice of more than three months.
This policy is regularly reviewed every 18 months and updated a minimum of every 36 months as necessary.
