Supervision details
As a supervisor I want to enable and encourage autonomy, along with the development of an insightful, competent, reflected and self directed practitioner. I feel that, mutuality, if jointly valued and desired, can be created within the intimacy of a supervisory relationship, transparency of thoughts, feelings and respect and freedom, where learning is collaborative, where personal responsibility is accepted and is the focus of our work together. A supervisor is not there to police a supervisee's work but to offer a safe space to explore their own thoughts and feelings about their work. I agree with Carl Rogers (1967/1989a, p.306) when he talks of 'realness' or 'genuineness' in regards to supervision.....When the facilitator is a real person, being what she is, entering into a relationship with the learner without presenting a front or a facade, she is much more likely to be effective'.
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.
