QUALIFICATIONS & TRAINING
CERTIFICATE IN THERAPEUTIC COUNSELLING SUPERVISION
I am a qualified clinical supervisor, offering Supervision to counsellors and anyone in the helping profession. The CPCAB Level 6 qualification has enabled me to learn theoretical approaches to supervision using specifically the 'Seven Eyed Process Model' and 'Developmental Model' and I have been able to demonstrate appropriate competencies in an experiential way by providing clinical supervision to counselling practitioners.
DIPLOMA IN PSYCHOTHERAPEUTIC COUNSELLING
I am a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor. The qualification is a CPCAB Level 5 in Psychotherapeutic Counselling. The main difference between a counsellor and psychotherapeutic counsellor is working at 'relational depth'. Relational depth is a deeper therapeutic connection between client and therapist, and it is at the centre of my counselling work. It also means I have the skills and knowledge to counsel individuals with more complex mental health issues.
DIPLOMA IN THERAPEUTIC COUNSELLING
I qualified as a counsellor in 2017. The qualification is a CPCAB Level 4 in Therapeutic Counselling. I have also passed the BACP's Certificate of Proficiency which is a standardised assessment to demonstrate I have the ability to be a professional counsellor / psychotherapist.
