Supervision details
My approach to supervision is integrative in line with my approach as a therapist. I am experienced in supervising groups and individuals from a variety of theoretical approaches including Gestalt, Psychodynamic, Person Centred, Transpersonal, CBT and Integrative. My experience as a supervisor has included in the NHS, voluntary sector and private sector and in my current role as a senior therapist in the NHS, I supervise counsellors, CBT psychotherapists and other therapists e.g. counselling psychologists. I completed a Diploma in Clinical Supervision from CPPD Counselling School in 2014 and I am also a qualified Counselling for Depression supervisor. As my private practice is only part of my work, I have limited availability for supervisees and usually offer supervision in the daytime on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
