I am committed to ongoing professional development through regular training. The courses above are a snapshot of courses undertaken, but there are many more specialist CPD activities in relation to healthcare issues, trauma, grief, loss and the menopause that I hold certificates for, not all listed here but do feel free to ask.

I receive monthly clinical supervision to ensure my safe and ethical practice. I am committed to and adhere to the ethical framework of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
