"Hi I'm Dan. I have always had an interest in teaching and training. In my previous career I supported students on their nursing placements, teaching and assisting them with skills and competencies throughout their time with me. These skills and experience I have brought to Aloe counselling training. I teach both the Level 2 and Level 3 courses, sharing my knowledge and supporting the counsellors of tomorrow.When the opportunity for CPD courses came up, I jumped at it. I had already decided my counselling practice would focus upon people affected by long term health conditions, their carers, and the staff helping them. I therefore thought I had a wealth of experience and knowledge I could train others on. As our population gets older, health will affect us and our loved ones more. That is why I have decided to focus more upon these topics in my CPD courses. I want to share knowledge but also help fellow counsellors to better support their clients with knowledge"
