Supervision details
I offer person-centred supervision for counsellors and psychotherapists, as well as other people across the helping professions, to support their ongoing practice.
I also provide supervision for anyone requiring a space for reflective practice on their work, clients, professional and personal development.
Supervision is a collaborative process and provides a confidential, boundaried and safe space for:
- Reflective practice;
- Developing congruence and self-awareness;
- Compassionate self-enquiry;
- To experience being empathically listened to;
- Maintaining professionalism and ethical practice;
- Professional and personal development;
- Reframing challenges faced as opportunities for growth and change;
- A wider perceptive – having someone hold the bigger picture without minimising your own personal experience;
- Promoting self-care;
- The integration of all the experiences of being a practitioner.
What do I bring to the relationship?
I have 25 years experience as a practicing counsellor and psychotherapist. My practice includes working with individuals, couples, short- and long-term work, and EAP work.
My therapeutic style is grounded in the humanistic modalities, in particular the person-centred approach but is greatly influenced by everything I have learned, experienced and continue to explore. I’m a curious, perpetual student, seeking to understand and help people in the fullness of their life experience – physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual.
I also have over 20 years’ experience in the business world of which many of them included the management and development of people, teaching, mentoring and support.
I created my own private practice in 2003 which continues to thrive. I understand first-hand what it takes to run a small business, navigating the ups and downs, successes and failures, and on-going development to keep thriving whilst staying true to my own values.
I offer an initial meeting of 30 minutes free of charge so that we can both determine if this is the right choice for you; provide an opportunity for you to ask any questions or voice any concerns; and to ensure that we both feel comfortable working together.
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.
