IBIS TRAINING & COUNSELLING SERVICE

Dr Christine Allen

I have worked for ten years for Cruse Bereavement Care as a counsellor, supervisor and trainer. Also for three years I have worked on a local rural help line.

I have my own private practice, in Larkfield, near Maidstone Kent. This is situated in a local doctor's practice. I am a humanistic and transactional analysis counsellor.

Recently I have trained to become a tutor for the Expert Patients Programme (NHS), which is a pain management course for people with long term conditions.

I have delivered training to various organisations in various parts of the U.K. Some of these are:

• NCH (Cambridge)
• Stroke Association (London)
• Breakthrough Breast Cancer (London)
• Brendoncare Foundation (Winchester)
• Connexions (Newcastle)
• Pentonville Prison (London)
• Make a Wish Foundation (Surrey)
• Parents in Partnership (Nottingham)

• Bristol City Council
• Motor Neurone Disease Association (London)
• Northampton General Hospital
• North Somerset Council
• NE London Strategic Health Authority
• Epilepsy Bereaved (Oxford and London)
• A Government Department

I have given talks to schools and youth clubs.
