Supervision details
My supervisory approach is integrative and, when useful, I can incorporate creative tools to facilitate greater understanding of the client work.
I am able to support supervisees through challenging situations as a result of my supervisory training, and also from my own experience of working with many different client groups and supervisory approaches over the past two decades.
My starting point is to offer the opportunity to take a personal and professional history from you as my supervisee and to get to know your ways of working, so that I can work congruently with you. My guiding principle is to work in support of your development as a therapist. I will be looking to understand your gifts and challenges, to offer encouragement where there are edges or areas to develop, and to provide a safe space to unpack your client work.
For private practice therapists, I can advise re your clinical will and subject to specific conversations and written agreement, I may be able to take on the clinical executor role for you.
Supervisees are given access to a members page on my site, where I share resources related to supervision and private practice.
For therapists in their first 300 hours post-qualifying, supervision sessions will need to be scheduled weekly, and after that, supervisees may opt for fortnightly or more frequently.
The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
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.
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.
