Supervision details
I am a person centred counsellor with 12 years of experience, and a person centred supervisor. I offer one-to-one supervision to experienced and trainee counsellors. Supervision is a requirement of counselling professional bodies, and I see it as an essential part of support and quality assurance for counsellors. I will work alongside you, helping you to reflect and review your work in a way that benefits both you and your clients. I believe that building a strong, supportive relationship is essential for us to work effectively together. I am happy to support you in your journey if that requires written reports or references. As an accredited member of BACP, I work within their Ethical Guidelines. My standard rate is £60 per hour. I am happy to work at concessionary rates with trainee counsellors.
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).
