Iqubal Birdi MA Soc Sci BA (Hons) Psych PG Dip Psych Research Methods Dip Counselling Registered Member MBACP & Registered Counsellor (050790)

I have experience in counselling, supervision, training, and management in the substance misuse / addictions field, as well as teaching counselling skills in an adult education setting, and working privately as a counsellor. I have C&G 7303 (Level 4) Preparation for Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector (PTLLS) and I am an associate member of the Institute for Learning (IfL).

I previously worked at Change Birmingham Brief Therapy (in Ledsam Street, Ladywood) as a counsellor and management committee member, between 1995 and 1999.

I enjoy keeping fit, art, playing guitar and writing (my first, recently published book can be viewed at www.iqubalbirdi.com; which highlights my ongoing interest in Eastern philosophies and psychologies e.g. like mindfulness and Buddhism and their links to Western psychology).
