Being a client, going for individual and group supervision, attending marriage workshops with my partner has provided me with invaluable training on how to provide therapy to my clients. Along with all of my qualifications, every year I attend two to three conferences and training sessions; it is crucial to learn new skills, to fine tune and to up-grade my counselling skills.  I am currently in supervision for sex addiction training.
