Supervision details
In addition to my private practice I offer supervision to both qualified counsellors and counsellors in training. My supervision style encompasses my integrative approach to counselling based on Humanistic foundations. This is primary holding the person centred principals but intregratingother approaches including TA, Compassion Focused CBT and Solution Focused therapy, which may be particularly helpful for shorter term work . The key focus is supporting counsellors in their work to grow professionally, receive support including ethical issues and provide a space to reflect on client work and needs. I also manage a counselling service which enables me to have a broad experience and exposure to a range of counselling issues.I hold a post graduate diploma in supervision and would be happy to discuss your supervision needs and preferences. Generally I would suggest an initial telephone conversation and then a face to face meeting in order to learn more about each other and how we may work together. As with counselling it is the strength of the supervisory relationship which will predominantly determine its success rather than the particular model of therapy although an understanding and respect of our respective approaches is important. Fees £60 per hour. If you are a counsellor in training or work in a low cost or voluntary sector please contact me to discuss possible concessions.
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.
