My Background I graduated in September 2009 from Derby University with a Post-Graduate Certificate, Post-graduate Diploma and Masters Degree in Integrative Counselling Practice. For two years prior to this I worked as a counsellor for the Unit for Psychotherapeutic Practice and Research at the University, and also as a bereavement counsellor for Cruse Bereavement Care. Before I decided to retrain as a counsellor I worked at a freelance Stage Manager for many theatre companies across Britain.
