Supervision details
Supervision
Welcome, are you a registered therapist or a studen
My approach to Clinical Supervision is relational, thinking creatively together ‘outside of the box’. My approach encourages critical reflection on clinical cases, therapeutic interventions and attention to the emotional and ethical challenges inherent in your practice. This could include the impact upon you from clients of transference/countertransference and the potential for burnout, your self-care is of prime importance in this process.
Relational supervision is designed to be a collaborative relationship that supports your learning and development, (as well as mine – you also bring me your experience), often incorporating elements of teaching, feedback, goal-setting, and emotional support. This is essential for maintaining high standards of ethical practice and mandatory for counsellors and psychotherapists in line with the BACP and UKCP codes of safe working practice for both clients and psychotherapists
Clinical Supervision isn’t about surveillance or judgment, nor is it about monitoring performance or a process of evaluation. Instead, it offers a confidential and voluntary space for professional development and growth, fostering a culture of trust and continuous development. I bring 25 years of supervised clinical experience plus a lifetime of lived experience backed up by continuous and continuing professional development. All knowledge is to be shared!.

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.
