Supervision details
I have several hours of supervision each month and the more experienced I become the more supervision I seek! For me supervision is the space within which I process and explore all aspects of my work and challenge myself to think both more deeply and more creatively. I examine my reactions, my understandings and my blind spots in order to remain both a safe and an ethical practitioner.It is all of this that I seek to offer to my supervisees. I have a diploma in supervision from The Iron Mill in Exeter. I supervise trainee and experienced counsellors and, increasingly, other professionals, particularly other healthcare workers and teachers.
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).
