Supervision details

Supportive Supervision
My approach to supervision is thoughtful, and encouraging. I value what you already bring to your work and my supervision feels safe and respectful. 

I am committed to ethical and safe practice and work in line with the requirements of relevant professional and regulatory bodies. Having worked extensively in agency settings, I am familiar with safeguarding, and professional accountability.

I also believe it’s important to acknowledge the impact that therapeutic work can have on us as practitioners. Supervision isn’t just about the client — it’s also about you. I hold your well-being in mind and offer space to reflect on how the work affects you personally and professionally.

Integrative Supervision
As an integrative therapist, I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches, always grounded in the importance of the therapeutic relationship. I use a variety of relational supervision models, including the Seven-Eyed Model, following extensive training with Robin Shohet and Joan Wilmot at CSTD, London.

Next Steps
Finding the right supervisor matters. I offer a free 40-minute introductory session so you can ask questions, get a sense of how I work, and see whether we feel like a good fit.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
