Supervision details
Having completed a diploma in clinical supervision for counselling and healthcare providers, I have provided supervision within agencies, treatment centres and for counselling students in groups as well as individuals. As a therapist I enjoy working with a diverse client group, which adds a depth to the supervision I can offer to individuals or groups. For me, supervision at it’s best is a collaboration between two colleagues, a sort of ‘two heads are better then one’ process. With the benefit of a ‘helicopter view’ I can share your reflections of your client work, and offer support, validation, insights into blocks and stuckness, awareness of relational games etc. The supervision relationship is an important arena for both personal and professional growth, as well as learning and developing skills and new resources.
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.
