I am a fully qualified counsellor and psychotherapist, and I am registered as transpersonal psychotherapist with the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), my accrediting body.
I gained my accreditation with UKCP after completing 5 years of training – a foundation course followed by a 4-year PG diploma course in Counselling and Psychotherapy, at the Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy Education (CCPE) in London. The diploma itself is accredited with both the UKCP and the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). The UKCP and the BACP are the two main bodies which provide guidelines and industry approved accreditation for training and professionals in the fields of Psychotherapy and Counselling.
