Supervision details
As an experienced psychotherapist, I know first hand the difference good clinical supervision makes to my own wellbeing, the wellbeing of my clients. Informing my style of clinical supervision is Hawkins and Shohets Seven-Eyed Model of Supervision. This model is widely used within the UK with a vast amount of research supporting its efficiency. I use this model as it is applicable across different therapeutic modalities and within individual and group supervision settings.
My use of the Seven-Eyed Model of supervision allows me to offer a holistic approach to supervision, with time focused on the client and the aspects that make up the therapeutic relationship. Yet, does not neglect your supervision needs as a practitioner.
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.
