My Training
I am fully accredited by the UKCP
CCPE training details: This involved 900 contact hours, including one six-day intensive, one residential weekend, 24 weekend seminars and 120 evening meetings spread over four years. The evening meetings include a period for lectures and group supervision. In addition, students undertake a minimum of 160 hours of individual therapy, at least 550 hours of supervised psychotherapy practice and 100 hours at an approved clinical placement, from which they submit case histories for assessment.
