Supervision details

I am a Level 6 CPCAB Therapeutic Counselling Supervisor, working online to offer a space for meaningful and reflective discussion about your client work, whilst also supporting your professional and personal development. My approach is grounded in the Seven-Eyed Model of Supervision, providing a collaborative, reflective, curious, and relational experience. 

My therapeutic approach is integrative, primarily drawing on person-centred and psychodynamic therapy. I am trauma-informed in my practice and have completed training in EMDR therapy, which informs my understanding of trauma and its impact.

As an online supervisor, I have experience working with trainee counsellors through to qualified and experienced counsellors. If we work together, I will encourage and support you in developing your clinical insight, confidence, and professional identity, while maintaining a strong focus on client well-being and safe, ethical practice.

We would co-create a supervision space that feels encouraging, supportive, challenging, insightful, curious, and creative, where you feel brave enough to talk about whatever you need to without fear of judgment.

My online supervision fees are as follows:

Trainee counsellors: £45 for 1 hr or £60 for 1.5 hrs
Counsellors who qualified in the last 12 months: £50 for 1 hr or £70 for 1.5 hrs
Qualified & experienced counsellors: £55 for 1 hr or £75 for 1.5 hrs 

Before deciding whether we work together, I offer a free 20-minute consultation to discuss the type of client work you are undertaking, your level of training and professional role, your learning style, and what you most need from supervision.

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.
