Supervisor Alan Bore MA, BA (Hons), Dipl Psych, UKCP Registered Psychotherapist

What is SupervisionSupervision is a formal arrangement for counsellors
to discuss their work regularly with someone who is experienced in counselling
and supervision. The task is to work together to ensure and develop the efficacy
of the counsellor/client relationship. The agenda will be the counselling work
and feeling about that work, together with the supervisor’s reactions, comments
and confrontations. Thus supervision is a process to maintain adequate standards
of counselling and a method of consultancy to widen the horizons of an
experienced practitioner.

Session Information & Boundaries

Session Length & Time:

Sessions last for 55 minutes and will usually take place on the
same day and at the same time. Frequency of supervision will be negotiated with
the supervisee and will be based on level of training/experience of the
supervisee and current caseload.

Telephone Supervision:

I do not charge for a brief telephone consultations between supervision sessions
up to 10 minutes. However I will charge for longer consultations on a pro rata
basis. If you are unable to attend a session and I am able to arrange a
telephone supervision session in its place, then I will charge full
fee.

Report Writing:

I am happy to complete any reports for forms which you require. However if they need to be completed outside of your
session time, then I will charge on a pro rata basis.

Confidentiality:

Everything said within the session remains strickly confidential, with three exceptions;

1. In keeping with good practice under the code of ethics of the British Association for
Counselling & Psychotherapy, I receive regular supervision from a supervisor
who is registered with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy. My
supervisor will maintain the same code of confidentiality as myself.

2. If I am seriously concerned about your client I may wish to consult with another
professional, such as a trainer, line manager, senior counsellor etc. However, I
will always discuss this with you first.

3. If I would be liable to civil
or criminal court procedures if the information were not disclosed.

My current fee is £75.

I am registered with the United Kingdom Council
for Psychotherapy and comply with their Code of Ehtics and Practice.
