I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and closely follow their ethical framework which is explained in detail here.
Experience
In my private practice I work with adults on a one-to-one basis and since 2010 I have been working at a local sixth form college where I counsel students between 16 and 19 years of age.
I am also a supervisor within the counselling department, working with and supporting some of our trainee and qualified counsellors.
Previously, I spent three years working at a large company in Farnborough within the Occupational Health Department counselling employees and volunteering at a counselling charity in Wokingham.
