Supervision details

I have provided Clinical Supervision in various roles since 2014.  I have a Diploma in Supervision from Leeds Centre for Psychological Development.  I have recently worked as Clinical Supervisor at York St John University Communities Centre and in addition run a successful private practice.

We will explore together what you need as an individual from your Supervision sessions.  I work from a Humanisitic/Relational place and will offer you a safe space where you can let me know what is happening for you and your clients.  My hope is that you will feel brave enough to share whatever you need to share with no fear of judgement.  This will ensure that your practice remains safe and ethical and you feel supported in your work.

Sessions are available currently face to face and online

I offer a free 30 mins session for you and I to meet and consider if we can work together.

Sessions are £50 per hour

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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

Key details

DBS check

In England and Wales, the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS, formerly known as CRB) carry out criminal records checks for individuals working with vulnerable groups, such as children. To find out more, visit gov.uk , or contact this professional directly

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

I work from a first floor room which has lift access. There are also ramps into the building for those with limited mobility and for wheelchair access. The building has toilets for those with additional needs.
