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 an accredited Breathworks Mindfulness teacher, recognised by the British Association of Mindfulness Based Approaches (BAMBA). Membership of both Breathworks and BAMBA require me to follow their particular ethical frameworks, 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.
