Supervision details
I have been working as a supervisor by non-statutory and statutory agencies, including charities (Mind, Turning Point, Addaction, Lifeline), NHS Trusts and local counselling services. I provide private supervision online or at my private practice in central London, W1B 5TF. I am also the VIA Psychosocial Therapy Manager. I work from an integrative perspective (mainly CBT, Systemic and Existential), but I respect the orientation of my supervisees, helping them to relate their client work to their theoretical background. I offer a safe space for supervisees to reflect upon the content and process of their work and to feel validated and supported as a person as well as a therapist. The model of supervision also incorporates space to consider ethical dilemmas, burn out, loss of confidence and professional development. I am also experienced in working with multi-heritage and diversity issues that might be brought by therapists who also work with clients from different cultures. My Fees are £110 per individual supervision session online or in-person at my central London practice. I do not offer concessionary rates. I accept some private insurances.
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.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
