Supervision details
I graduated as a clinical supervisor at CCPE in 2000.
Rather than shoehorn client's issues into one theoretical model of psychotherapy, I embrace a more client-centred approach, working integratively to tailor the therapy to the client's needs. I am a supportive supervisor, helping supervisees to do the essential thinking, linking and reflecting and helping them to increase their repertoire of interventions.
“Come to the edge” he said
“We can't. We're afraid.”
“Come to the edge.”
“We can't. We will fall!”
“Come to the edge.”
And they came. And he pushed them. And they flew. ~ Guillaume Apollinaire
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.
