It's important for you to know that I have the appropriate qualifications and memberships to regulatory bodies. This ensures that my practice is held to sector best practice standards. Please be aware that the term 'counsellor' is not a protected title in the UK, meaning that it does not guarantee a practitioner has certain training or qualifications. I encourage you to check the credentials of counsellors you consider working with.
