Having trained some 30 years ago in Person-Centred Counselling, I went on to qualify in Gestalt and Transactional Analysis before moving into Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in 1998.
I gained an MA in CBT in 2004 which served to complement my Social Work (CQSW) and MSc in Social Sciences.

Further information
I believe that if anybody is helped to gain the right tools, it can make a significant difference to the quality of life. Why I love CBT so much is because it's collaborative, it's a joint venture, where I will learn as much from the person I'm working with as they might learn from me.
