Supervision details
I qualified as an integrative Supervisor in 2010 and supervise using a predominantly person-centered approach.
As a supervisor my approach assumes the social world we inhabit consists of many realities, rather than one concrete reality. So I work to facilitate your understanding of clients, so clients might better understand themselves.
By attending to the dynamic change processes that occurs through reflective practice I hope to enhance your awareness so that you can fully encounter clients.
A passion of mine is finding authentic experiences that have lost, or never found, a voice. I am interested in social justice, diversity, and equality and work to support supervisees in reaching their full potential.
As a supervisor I facilitate an egalitarian relationship with supervisees, while ethically holding clients in mind.
Having worked in helping professions for over 25 years I bring a wealth of experience to supervision.
My vocational roles in the field have included, manager of counselling services, counselling supervisor, and lecturer in counselling.
Sectors I have worked with include homelessness, addiction, schools, community and adult education, social care, social work, sexual abuse services, and mental health services.
Currently, I hold a private practice for my client work and I am employed at university where I deliver professional training in counselling and psychotherapy.
I find this balance of practice and tutoring allows me to offer a well-rounded supervisory experience.
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.
