Supervision details
Good supervision is the touchstone of the work we do as counsellors and psychotherapists. Therapist and author Petruska Clarkson famously quoted that it provided a space where the therapy can breathe.
Supervision is multi-dimensional and affords you a setting where you can review and reflect on your clinical work, explore areas of concern, share ideas and new ways of thinking, apply theory to practice, develop your self awareness and most importantly, serve as a reminder to both supervisor and supervisee that ethics is at the heart of the work we do – and everything we do is always in service of the client.
I offer supportive and collaborative supervision to both qualified practitioners and student counsellors who are developing their practice.
Using the Seven Eyed Model as developed by Hawkins and Shohet, we will explore and focus on the relationships between the client, therapist and supervisor and take into consideration the inter-play between these relationships as well as the impact from external factors and our understanding of the wider context.
We will also use Proctor’s Supervisory Alliance Model as a framework to review the normative, formative and restorative aspects or requirements of your clinical practice.
The BACP currently advises that supervisees access Clinical Supervision for 1:5 hours per calendar month. If your case-load increases, or is large, this needs to be reflected in the amount of supervision you have.
I have a Certificate in Clinical Supervision from the British Psychological Society and also an Advanced Certificate in Clinical Supervision including On-line and Telephone Working, mapped to the BACP supervision competence framework, the National Counselling Society (NCS) Good Practice Guide for Supervision and the Association for Counselling and Therapy On-line (ACTO) supervision competencies.
This means I have the training required to work professionally and safely with supervisees in both face-to-face and on-line settings – using either the Zoom platform or the telephone.
Finding a supervisor that is the ‘right fit’ for you is essential. With that in mind, I offer all potential supervisees a no-fee appointment where you can meet me, get an idea of how I work, discuss your supervisory needs or ask any questions you may have. I look forward to hearing from you!
Student Counsellors £45 per 1:5 hour session.
Professional therapists £55 per !:5 hour session.
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.
