Bio
Caz Binstead is a registered therapist and supervisor. She runs a busy private practice is London, and in her career, has enjoyed writing, teaching and supervising for the profession. Originally trained in the humanistic integrative approach, she has also studied (and subsequently co-taught) Mindfulness therapy (MBCT) at the pioneering Oxford Mindfulness Centre.
She wrote and co-ran a popular course for some years; ‘New To Private Practice’, and her interests lie in helping students, and those new to private practice, feel confident in a transition into this type of work. She’s recently vacated her position as a supervisor to students on a BACP accredited Diploma/Advanced Diploma, to make more dedicated time for this.
Caz enjoys giving back to her profession, and is proud to sit on the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) Private Practice Committee, as a Divisional Executive. It is also why she is absolutely delighted to have been asked to be compère for this event – National Counsellors’ Day, indeed a day for celebration!
