Supervision details
I am a qualified Clinical Supervisor with a Post Graduate Certificate in Clinical Supervision. My modality is Humanistic and I offer a warm, creative approach to supervision. I believe that the foundation of quality supervision is a healthy supervisory relationship built on trust, honesty and equality. I facilitate a self-reflective process, encouraging supervisee’s to ‘speak the unspoken’ in a place of safety and non-judgement. I often utilise a variety of different creative approaches into my work including the use of story-telling, drawing/crafts and sand tray work if this is something that the supervisee shows an interest in. I have had many different experiences as a supervisee over the past 15 years, some good, others less so. What I try to do in my own practice as a Supervisor is to always be open to learning something new about myself. I think that for Supervsion to be effective, it's important as a supervisee to feel as though you are able to make mistakes or 'get it wrong' sometimes and still be able to bring these experiences to supervision and be accountable without fear of being critically judged. In my experience, these are usually valuable opportunities to increase our capacity for self-reflective practice, knowledge and self-love.
I currently work from my private practice in Fareham.
I charge £70 per hour and am able to offer a discount to students/trainees.
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.
