Supervision details
I am fortunate to have received excellent supervision myself over the years, so I am excited to be able offer this service to other professionals. I would like to build a great relationship that helps you become the best practitioner you can be, and to learn from you as well. I have a special interest in helping counsellors who are setting up their own private practices. I use the Seven-Eyed Model and also work creatively. I have completed the ABC Level 6 Diploma in Supervision from Community Counsellor Training (Canterbury). This course is accredited by the ABC Awards Quality Licence Scheme. If you are interested in supervision with me I offer a free half hour initial meeting or Zoom call beforehand to answer your questions, discuss your needs, and so we can decide if we think we can work well together. We can work in person at my therapy space in Sittingbourne, or online. Please contact me for more information. My fee for supervision is £50 per hour (£75 per 1.5 hours). I have been in private practice since 2015 and I have a range of clinical experience (Please see my website for more about me and how I work). I also have a particular interest in working with people with disabilities – particularly those with “invisible” neurological disabilities and chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia, hypermobility, CFS/ME and chronic pain. I am an Accredited Member of the BACP and abide by the BACP Ethical Framework.
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.
