Supervision details
I have been lucky enough to be supported by some great professionals throughout my career and I have also been unfortunate enough to come across some less than supportive or professional supervisors. I think this is one of the reasons that I became a supervisor. I have a very clear vision of what I need from my supervision, and I want to offer that to others.
My model of supervision covers the four relationship modalities: Educative, Authoritative, Supportive and Therapeutic. These four relationship modalities mirror the BACP’s ‘Tasks and Functions’, Normative (managing), Formative (educational) and Restorative (supporting).
I aim to build a safe, creative and professional relationship with my supervisees in order to encourage a reflective and open space in which to explore their client work ensuring it remains ethical and effective.
I work with therapists in private practice, working in schools and with young people and newly qualified and 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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
