Professional Membership
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and I fully adhere to the Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions. I also undertake continuous professional development (CPD) so that my knowledge and skills are up to date and continually growing. You can find out more about the BACP and their ethical guidelines for counsellors here:
Qualifications
I have a CPCAB awarded L4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, from Cardiff and Vale College (BACP Accredited).
Before that, I completed a Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills and a Level 3 Certification in Counselling Studies.
I am a Level 2 IAPT Motivational Interviewer and hold an AET Level 3 in training.
As part of the requirements from BACP I will undertake continuous professional development.
Experience
I have experience working across mental health, criminal justice, and addiction settings, and I bring a compassionate, down-to-earth approach to each conversation. Within the prison I was trained as a HMPPS facilitator and trained in using Motivational Interviewing and facilitating a variety of courses to reduce reoffending.
