Supervision details
For me, it is important that you feel valued and safe in supervision. This means feeling safe to bring what you might consider mistakes or to explore ruptures within the therapeutic relationship, all of which can be a great therapeutic opportunity. Together, we will explore what feels difficult and possible ways forward and celebrate what has gone well.
Our therapeutic skills continuously develop and are enhanced by learning from our clients and from each other. Supervision is a great place to reflect, to advance learning and to prevent burnout. I will be guided by professional ethical guidelines to ensure safe practice.
I have been a supervisor in the NHS, in private practice and at university (supervising students’ case studies). Supervision can be from an integrative perspective or from the perspective of a particular model (i.e. CFT, psychodynamic, person-centred, relational CBT).
The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
