Supervision details
I am a BACP Senior Accredited Supervisor (for individuals).My basic orientation in supervision is Person Centred. I trust you, the supervisee, to bring to supervision whatever you need to so you can feel supported and confident in your counselling practice. My agenda is your agenda.I strongly believe that as a counsellor, the one relationship you cannot afford to compromise on is the one with your supervisor. I therefore strive to create a relationship in which you can explore the things you would rather nobody knows. In so doing I believe I offer you a relationship in which you feel held and heard and thus ensure maximum safety for you when working with your clients. The combination of teaching, counselling and supervising I feel has enhanced my practice in all three areas. It has helped me articulate what I do, help others understand how theory and practice interlink and monitor my client work more effectively.Gaining my accreditation as a supervisor (for individuals) in 2004 was the hardest qualification I have ever done. I had to demonstrate my understanding of how theory, ethics and practice inform each other and my work. I had to provide evidence that I actually practice what I think I do with written vignettes that my supervisees evidenced. I also had to demonstrate how I manage difficult situations. I enjoy supervising - trainees, newly qualified counsellors, and experienced practitioners as well as people using counselling skills in allied professions. I find it a privilege to be entrusted by supervisees and to be a witness to their unique journey and development. Over the years I have supervised individuals working in the voluntary and statutory sectors, in specialist settings eg prison, and in private practice. I have also supervised people running groups and offered group supervision. I have supervised trainees from a variety of courses: person centred, integrative, dialogue. I also offer telephone supervision.If you are looking for a supervisor I am happy to talk with you on the phone and to decide from there if you would like to come and meet me; or if you would rather come for an initial supervision session - for which you pay - so you can experience how I supervise and see if you and I feel we can work together. I am also happy to offer one off supervision sessions whilst you are either looking for a new supervisor or whilst your regular supervisor is on holiday or unable to offer you supervision.feesI charge between £45 - 70 per therapeutic hour, in part dependent on whether or not an employer pays.
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.
