Supervision details
I offer supervision either in person in a local woodland setting, via Zoom video conferencing or by telephone. Please contact me for further information. I qualified with a post graduate diploma in supervision in 2015 with Surrey Counselling Training. Alongside the counselling work I do at the sixth form, I also work as a supervisor with both our trainee counsellors and those who are qualified within our team there. Primarily I use the Inskipp and Proctor model of supervison working with the normative, formative and restorative sides to supervision with the normative attending to ethics, formative focusing on developing the skill, knowledge and understanding of supervisees and the restorative function in supporting the supervisee in, “Discharging held emotions and recharging energies, ideals and creativity.” (Inskipp and Proctor, 1993, p6). In the same way as counselling, I believe that having a good working relationship is vital in the supervision process and so I aim for that to be at the heart of the way I work. Fees: I charge £55.00 per hour or £70 for 90 minutes. If you would like any more information or are interested in arranging a time to meet and see how we might work together then please do contact me.
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.
