Sahir House Counselling and Psychotherapy team achieve BACP Senior Accreditation
14/06/2016
Jointly Donna Jackson and Lucy Martin have 37 years of experience and expertise in the field of HIV, counselling and psychotherapy and this week received their certificates from BACP acknowledging their hard work.
Sahir House is the HIV support, information and training centre for Merseyside. Offering a wide range of services to people living with or affected by HIV on Merseyside, HIV awareness training, up to date HIV information and many opportunities for volunteering.
Lucy commented “the process of achieving this was a very challenging and rewarding process and shows a commitment to my professional development and ethical practice.”
Senior Accreditation shows current and potential clients, employers and colleagues that you are an experienced, mature and accomplished practitioner in your specialism and that you have continued to reflect and develop since your initial accreditation as a counsellor/psychotherapist.
There are very few senior practitioners in the UK so Sahir House feel very proud to have 2 of them on the team.
Donna Jackson also commented “Many of the issues that clients bring to their sessions can be very complex and diverse. Having being awarded the Accreditation gives us recognition that our capabilities are at a national standard.”
Sahir House is an HIV organisation based in Liverpool offering support to people living with HIV on Merseyside since 1985
Last year 84 people living with HIV received counselling at Sahir House
811 counselling contacts were delivered during the past 12 months
Sahir House has a very low DNA rate of 18%, which is below the national average.
The number of people living with HIV in the UK has trebled in the last 10 years.
