Carmel Slawski

Teaching is my passion!

 I’ve been lucky enough to deliver counselling training for the last 14 years in further education colleges, with the majority of my time spent at Tyne Metropolitan College.

I have a counselling background in addictions and mental health and I have focussed my subject specific CPD in recent years on the areas of loss, trauma and abuse.

In addidition, I continually update my knowledge of counselling theory and have recently completed a diploma in Gestalt & neuroscience with distinction.

I achieved a PGCE with distinction in 2007, following completion of a M.A. in counselling in 2006. 

Whether your training needs are in interpersonal skills, higher level counselling training, abuse, loss & bereavement I will  do my best to tailor my service to meet your needs.

Whether you are a trainee or more experienced therapist, the counselling relationship can provide both reward and challenge. Accountability can feel weighty at times and caring for clients can feel isolating.

I offer a creative, humanistic approach to supervision. Within a boundaried relationship we can work together to explore ways of understanding the counselling relationship and establishing and maintaining best practice; all with the goal of helping your clients.

My background is in addictions and mental health and over the years I have developed my knowledge of areas such as loss and abuse. 

I obtained a M.A. in counselling from Durham University in 2006 and a certificate in creative humanistic supervision from the Northern College of Psychodrama in 2008.
