Depending on the service you access, staff will have different qualifications, training and experience but all have been recruited for their expertise and skills to deliver wellbeing and therapeutic support and activities.
Where therapy is offered, we adhere to and staff are registered with, BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) or BABCP (British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies) guidelines and staff are professionally qualified.
