Counselling is an unregualted profession and unfortunately many people advertise themselves as therpaists and counsellors without having had sufficicent training.  I am a memeber of the British Association of Counsellors and Psycotherapists (BACP) which means that I have had four years training and achieved a recognised and accredited qualification.

I have a level 4 Diploma in Counselling.  I also have a degree in Education and am a qualfied teacher.
