Supervision details
I am a relational supervisor drawing on Person Centred Theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I believe my primary role as a supervisor is to be a cheerleader for my supervisees. I have 3 areas I have to consider: a managerial role (are you working safely and ethically), an educative role (can I help you to find other approaches or ways of working) and a restorative role (checking you are taking care of yourself).
I love this quote: "Tread lightly, you tread on my work, and how I see it, and how I view myself."
I have a wealth of experience in counselling and supervising with adults and children and young people. I'm experienced in Safeguarding and pre-trial therapy. I can bring in creative and symbolic approaches if that's something you're interested in. I also enjoy working with placement students. As a tutor I understand their needs. My aim is to provide a reflective space for my supervisees to unpick their client work and how it impacts them.
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.
