Supervision details
I currently offer supervision to counsellors & psychotherapists who work with children, adolescents and/or adults.
I am also currently working at Brighton University as a student counsellor and within private practice. I consider supervision to be a joint endeavour between the supervisor and supervisee, in attending to the client, the therapist and the wider system in which the work takes place. It is a space where we can revision our thoughts, ideas and attend to our concerns.
I draw upon Shohet and Hawkins 7 eyed model of supervision, developmental, ethical and creative frameworks in my work. I can utilise creative tools in my supervision work such as sand tray, metaphor and imagery.
I have worked as a therapist in the following specialist services and also within private practice. Mankind- offering therapy to male survivors of sexual abuse utilising trauma frameworks.
West London Action for Children -offering therapy to children, adults and families who have experienced adversity and trauma. I also worked in the school setting offering counselling.In this work I utilised play therapy frameworks and creative therapies. I have also supervised training therapists in this role.
NSPCC - offering therapy to children who had experienced trauma and abuse utilising play therapy frameworks.
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.
