I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. I adhere to the BACP ethical framework for ethical counselling and good practice.  I am registered with the DBS update service and have an enhanced up to date DBS. I have completed various safeguarding and child protection courses and my certificates are up to date, and updated yearly. I attend regular clinical supervision; this monitors my counselling practice and is an ethical requirement of the BACP.  I keep myself up to date with the current legislation within counselling, both in private practice and in schools. I also keep my continued professional development up to date by attending regular workshops and events.
