Alice McCann

My name is Alice McCann and I am a CBT Therapist. I have completed my COSCA Counselling Skills Certificate where I gained basic but essential Counselling skills. I am also qualified as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (Dip CBT and Groupwork). II am 1st Audit Accredited member of BABCP (gained on 24th April 2023) and I am fully insured and have a current Disclosure check.

​

I worked within Social Care for over 20 years before training as a therapist. I gained so much experience from working mostly with young people affected by homelessness and working with children and families within schools. I have worked as a Secondary School Counsellor in Glasgow, and I have also been a `Roots of Empathy Instructor` within North Lanarkshire which is a program whose mission is `To build caring, peaceful and civil societies through the development of empathy in children and adults`. I gained a lot of practical skills while working within Social Care as well as a deeper understanding of attachment and its impact on people.

​

I have had training in addition to my CBT Diploma in ACES (Adverse Childhood Experiences); Solihull Approach and Solihull Approach to Understanding Trauma; `Understanding Dads`; Boarding School Syndrome; ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training); Trans Awareness; Working with Refugees; Autism Awareness; ADHD; Parenting; `Anxiety and Young People`; `Loss and Grief`: `Motivational Interviewing` and on `Understanding the impact of social media on Young People`.
