I am a Doctor in Counselling and Psychotherapy (Psychological Trauma) and a registered and accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP Accred - Number 36098) meaning that the BACPs ethical framework guides and informs my counselling work and I benefit from regular professional clinical supervision. The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) is my governing organisation and if you go to their web site https://www.bacp.co.uk/ you can find out more information on different types of counselling, and information about their ethical code of practice which I follow.

I am a Breathworks trained Mindfulness teacher, recognised by the British Association of Mindfulness Based Approaches (BAMBA) and I follow their ethical frameworks and receive regular supervision of my Mindfulness and Meditation teachings. I am also a qualified Uplifted yoga teacher (500 hours) which, again requires adherence to ethical frameworks.

Through all of the above accreditations, I undertake personal and professional development activities and courses.
