Supervision details
I work with Case Workers who work, 'on the coal face' taking calls from a high volume of victims in abusive situations in a domestic setting.
I help provide them with a confidential space in which to offload. I provide them as a coach, with 'skills and tools' to help prevent 'burnout'. This enables them to have the capacity to deal with the complexity of cases and manage their workload professionally while also looking after their own mental health.
Hence working on the analogy of, 'We are no good to others if we are not in a good place ourselves'.
duly signposted to the required agencies or the right give support required.
I also offer peer supervision to fellow colleagues.
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.
