Supervision details
I believe supervision is an important relational process; an essential element in the protection of both counsellor and client, as well as for the professional development of the practitioner. The object of this alliance is to enable the counsellor to grow in ethical competence, confidence and creativity so as to give the best possible service to clients. I see supervision as a collaborative collegiate activity where together we work on the issues that are of concern to you. As a supervisor I aim to:
Provide conditions that will help you as the supervisee to consider your experiences as issues for reflection, clarification and to generate sources of knowledge to support you and grow you in your work with clients. Provide a safe non-judgmental place to bring your vulnerable side as a practitioner. Create a space where you feel able to develop professionally as a therapist. Help you to become increasingly aware of your own responses generated by your case load and to help deepen your professional knowledge by continuously developing your counselling and ethical skills.
I offer one-to-one and group supervision to trainee therapists/placement students and qualified from any humanistic theoretical background. I bring a broad range of experience of working with different client groups in a range of organisational contexts including the voluntary sector and independent practice.I am a Registered BACP Accredited Counsellor and I work in independent practice with a wide range of issues. I am the Counselling Co-ordinator of a young people’s counselling charity where I supervise and manage a large group of counsellors and placement students from many theoretical backgrounds.
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.
