Supervision details

Clinical Supervision and friendly, professional support for your practice from a BACP Senior Accredited Supervisor.With long experience of working as a clinical supervisor with the NHS in Secondary Care, for therapists in private practice, for third sector voluntary agencies and organisations; I feel that I have a lot to offer in terms of not only counselling supervision but also where the need for onward referral for Mental Health issues is concerned.  Also where organisational demands cross over the supervision role - policies and procedures as they affect the client work. I am a BACP Senior Accredited Supervisor including group supervision. My practice has included supervision of NHS therapists, Doctors, trainee Psychiatrists, Community Psychiatric Nurses, Chartered Clinical Counselling Psychologists, NHS Drug and Alcohol therapists, Counsellors and Psychotherapists in private practice, IAPT therapists, Third sector voluntary and GP referred organisations (YMCA Counsellors, Barnardo's, Off the Record young persons Counselling service, Wessex Cancer, McMillan Cancer Counsellors, Bereavement Counselling Charity, Portsmouth Counselling Service for general counselling).  I am passionate about good and effective supervision tailored to the individual's needs or level of experience and training.  I love to grapple with an ethical dilemma and see them as opportunities to grow.  I have had three ethical debates published in the BACP Journal, Therapy Today, Dilemmas column, so at the very least I must be controversial! Please call me for a chat about what you want and I will be delighted to offer any help or assistance possible. 

Face to face in Southsea or over media platforms like FaceTime, Zoom, Watsapp with encrypted (so confidential) video calls. Or by 'phone, if you prefer.

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.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.
