Supervision details
I believe that supervision is a key part of the care of the counsellor and of their clients. I aim to create a warm, safe, supportive and trusting space for you to bring all aspects of your practice. For me, supervision is a place for you to sit down, relax, and offload, examine or simply play with ideas regarding how you're working and also what's getting in the way. I currently also supervise counselling supervisors and those training to become supervisors. I am BACP Senior accredited and have five years of supervision experience. Although I keep the person centred model at my core I am really interested and enthusiastic to be involved with you and how you work in your own theoretical way. I often work creatively with clients, supervisees and counselling supervisors to really bring a subconscious understanding to the work, I find this can really bring the implicit moment to moment work to the fore. I currently supervise those working in the following settings:-
Supervisors who are working with supervisees in private practice, school settings and bereavement support agencies. Counsellors working within private practice, generic counselling agency settings, complex bereavement support agencies, schools and dependency support agencies. Student counsellors in training who are working in placement settings towards their qualifying hours.
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.
