Supervision details
I am a BACP Accredited therapist and have over 13 years experience practice with both adults and young people. I also would bring to our work my BA in Community Education alongside 30 years of training and working within and for communities in various roles such as family support, parenting, domestic abuse, addiction, substance use and criminal justice.
I enjoy supporting both qualified and student counsellors to work ethically and safely as well as develop awareness, insights and understanding. Empowerment is important to me and I will therefore not take the role of expert. However I am very happy to share any knowledge and experience that you may find useful as well as coming with a willingness and enjoyment to learn from my supervisee's.
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.
