Valerian Counselling
Counselling & Psychotherapy in Marple, Stockport and the High Peak
Qualifications & Training
Counselling can help you to distance yourself from your everyday problems and to gain a clearer perspective.
Both during and after my core training as an integrative counsellor, I remain committed to fulfilling the BACP expectations regarding continuing professional development (CPD). In addition to increasing and consolidating my knowledge of important issues in the world of therapy by reading a range of publications (in print and online), I participate in training and workshops on a variety of topics and approaches, to develop and enhance my effectiveness as a practitioner.
Examples of such topics include:-
- Essential Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) Skills
- Working with Addictions (inc. Sex Addiction & Compulsivity)
- Counselling for Bereavement and Loss
- Working with Survivors of Trauma
- Counselling Suicidal Clients
- Attachment Theory into the Future
