association of Christian Counsellors

The group exists to provide information, support, training, encouragement and networking for counsellors, therapists, professional workers, carers and indeed anyone who is concerned or interested and any that are working with individuals who have suffered trauma and abuse. As a group we acknowledge the contribution of survivors to increased understanding in this area and respect the great value of their insights.

The steering group for tag, arose out of a working group set up by the Association of Christian Counsellors to provide training guidelines for counsellors working with survivors of ritual or extreme childhood abuse or who are working with dissociative disorders including dissociative identity disorder.

The interests of the group include:
• Dissociative identity disorder
• Clients’ rights
• Other dissociative disorders
• Self harming
• Issues of attachment, separation and loss
• Posttraumatic stress
• Spiritual dimension of recovery
• Sexual and ritual abuse
• Effective therapeutic methods
• Supervision issues
• Support for counsellors, therapists, carers and survivors
• Information exchange
• Effective working with other agencies
• Promotion of good practice
• Study days, workshops and training courses
