Supervision details
I have a qualification in supervision with the British Association of Psychotherapists and I am an experienced supervisor. I have been a psychotherapist for over 25 years and worked as Clinical Lead for a community mental health team and also at a university, as well as being in private practice for over fifteen years. I have supervised other psychotherapists and practitioners in a number of roles:As a manager of a psychotherapy team that worked within a community mental health team in Auckland, I provided clinical supervision to both psychotherapists and trainees. In addition I provided supervision and training to a range of staff in other mental health roles.I provided psychodynamic group supervision to the Morden Pastoral Foundation.In my current role at Roehampton University I am the Lead Counsellor and supervise a team of 12 placement counsellors, in addition to providing clinical assessments and working with complex clients. I also provide supervision in my private practice and have supported a number of trainees through graduation and accreditation. I love supervising others and aim to create a space that is safe to think though challenging dynamics with clients and to develop yourself by being able to bring your thoughts, reflections, unconscious processes to supervision. The feedback that my supervisees give me is that they find me warm, safe but also very honest as a supervisor. I bring a great deal of clinical experience to this role. I can supervise via Skype in addition to face to face supervision. SPACES AVAILABLE IN SUPERVISION GROUPSupervision Group Available: Thursdays 3-4.15pm, fortnightly from September 2018
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).
