Supervision details
I consider that supervision is a vital strand of support and professional development for all us working in a role with other people. I consider the supervisee to be a colleague. I offer a safe space where you can have an opportunity to reflect on your work and gain greater understanding of yourself and the relationships with those with whom you work. The purpose is to support you and enable you to continue in often challenging roles and make a difference in your work. I take a holistic, respectful approach and use the relationship between us to support you in your reflections and professional development. The process involves, reflective practice, case consultation, personal support, ethical consideration and personal validation.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
