My training

As part of my professional requirement, I need to regularly engage in Continuous Professional Development (CPD). I use this not only to maintain up to date with all safeguarding and best mental health practices, but also to develop my understanding of the issues brought into my practice and business. 
Every few years, I get to invest in more in depth training. This year, I'm really looking forward to start the Ten Directions Certificate in Ecotherapy (Tariki Trust), starting in September 24 ending in June 25. 
For my background and higher education training:
2021- Post Grad Diploma in Online Counselling and Psychotherapy- Level 7 (Academy for Counselling and Psychotherapy, now closed)
2015- Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Supervision- Level 7 (University of Derby)
2009- MA in Art Therapy- Level 7 (University of Derby)
2005- BA (Hons) in Creative Expressive Therapies (now called Creative Expressive Arts, Health and Wellbeing)  - Level 6 (University of Derby)

"I am very fortunate to have found Marta to work with me. I did this by using the Counselling Directory, which only has Accredited Certified Professionals on it. I needed help & support from someone who was more than a standard Therapist & had knowledge & expertise of working with people who have been through trauma starting from an early age. This can be very complex to work with, because you are not able to explain your feelings & emotions in the normal way, due to numbness & amnesia, but l think that Marta understands me better than l actually understand myself.
Marta also has the added gift that you can do different art work with her, whilst talking, if you wish.
It can be very difficult trying to discuss hard things, I have found Marta to be very compassionate, considerate & above all most kind person to me. This means a lot
