Training & qualifications

As a qualified counsellor with over 2000 hours of experience, I prioritize ongoing professional development, completing at least 30 hours annually and maintaining regular Supervision to ensure the best support for my clients.

My qualifications and key training are extensive, reflecting my commitment to a holistic approach in counselling. I believe that training in one area can enhance skills in another, as counselling is often multifaceted, much like the complexities of human beings. This approach allows me to provide tailored support that meets the unique needs of each individual.
