My training

My core training

I’ve always been fascinated by psychology and the power of the mind. Therefore, it is no surprise that in 2020, I embarked on a three-year programme delivered by the College of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and qualified as an Integrative Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy (CBT-REBT) Counsellor in 2023.

Whilst the course was centred around CBT – REBT, it equipped the counsellors in thinking out of the box and using protocols from other specialist disciplines such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Schema Therapy and Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT).

I am an accredited counsellor (MNCPS Acc.) with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).

I have a special interest in trauma, and in 2025, I completed a certification in “Trauma-Informed Practice” with Mindbody Breakthrough. This certification provides a solid foundation in understanding the neuroscience of trauma including PTSD, complex PTSD, and secondary trauma; and practical tools to help trauma survivors self-regulate and recover.
