Supervision details
I offer supervision to individuals where we work together to develop a deeper understanding of your clients in a safe and confidential space - a time to openly explore and think about the work. My original orientation is psychodynamic but through my experience with supervisees from integrative, psychodynamic and person centred backgrounds, I can share a broad perspective in relation to how you work and your supervision needs. My supervision experience includes NHS and private practice, and counselling trainees – some experienced and others just starting out in their practice. Qualifications I have a Diploma in Supervision from the Society of Analytic Psychology (the SAP) and I have been working as a therapist for over 12 years with experience in the NHS, private and the voluntary sector. I have been working at a supervisor in the NHS for qualified and honorary staff across different models, and in private practice. 2021 Diploma in psychodynamic/psychoanalytic Supervision. Society Analytical Psychology Supervision fees are negotiable, depending on regularity and your caseload. If you are interested in discussing the possibility of supervision, please feel free to contact me directly.
The British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) is a professional association, representing the profession of psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
The organisation is itself made up of fourteen member organisations and BPC accredits the trainings of its member organisations. An individual who qualifies from one of these trainings is then eligible for entry into the BPC's register.
BPC registrants are governed by a code of ethics, a policy of continuing professional development, a statement on confidentiality and a complaints procedure. The BPC is a Member Society of the European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in the Public Sector (EFPP). Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
