Supervision details
Individual and Group Supervision "Supervision is not done by the supervisor, but jointly between the supervisor and supervisee" Hawkins 2007 My style of approach is consultative. I provide a space for you, whether you are a counsellor, psychotherapist or an allied professional to bring your client load and consult with me about work. I aim to provide a compassionate, supportive environment which valies curiosity and kindness. My intention is to provide space where you can feel free to explore your work ina non-judgemental way. As in integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, I follow Hawkins and Shohet 7 eye process model of supervision. I supervise contractually and relationally and work creatively to utilise objects, materials, worksheets, whiteboard as well as using metaphor. I hold in mind the three functions as outlined by Proctor. Namely: the formative, ( educational) normative (ethical issues, the 'norms' of the profession and possible legal issues) and most importantly restorative. (the effect of the work on the supervisee, personal issues, workload, time management and stress) I value highly my one-to-one work with my supervisees, however, grpoup suprvision has its own benefits, including peer feedback and a multi layered approach to personal and professional develeopment. Supervsion is available to both individuals and groups and contracts can be arranged on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis, depending on your caseload. I gained invaluable experience as Deputy Clinical Lead at Richmond Mind where I carried out both group and individual supervision. I am now the Clinical Lead at Richmond AID Counselling Service.
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.
