Kathy Spooner will facilitate this forum, as we offer a warm welcome to members who are newly qualified counsellors. It would be wonderful if as many members as possible could join us for this forum to give these newly qualified members a sense of ACC and the support members can offer one another. It will be an opportunity to discover more about the organisation, ask questions and glean from the wealth of experience from within our membership.
This event is for members only and is free to attend, but you must register your place by noon, Monday 25th November 2024.
This forum is not just for newly qualified counsellors. If you have been in practice for some time, then please do join us to share your knowledge and experience with those who are beginning their counselling career.
