Supervision details
As a Level 6 CPCAB qualified supervisor, I have been working as a Clinical Supervisor in educational and private settings, since 2015.
I have previously been employed as a supervisor offering clinical supervision to therapists working with children and young people. Within my Private Practice, I also work with supervisees who counsel adults and couples. As a BACP Accredited Psychotherapist, I am qualified to work with adults, couples and young people.
My main theoretical approach is Psychodynamic, but I work from an eclectic model, drawing from my experience as a therapist and supervisor, focusing on the supervisees needs.
My manner is relational and very relaxed. I understand the seriousness of the work we do with our clients but approach my responsibility as a clinical supervisor with interest, compassion and humour, when appropriate.
Within our contracting, I would bring in reviews of our working relationship to ensure that our evolving clinical thinking space, is as supportive and enriching as you, the supervisee needs.
As a qualified supervisor, I work from the Seven Eyed Model of Supervision. Which, in short, means I encourage my supervisees to bring their whole selves to our meetings. The “seven eyes” include: the client; interventions used; counsellor/client relationship; the counsellor; supervisor/supervisee relationship; the supervisor and the systems. The structure of this modality can help supervisees to bring focus to all areas of their work. It is also a useful tool, when we review our work and relationship, to encourage a balance overview of our clinical thinking space. I have also found that this model encourages a good degree of reflection on clinical practice, and in turn supports growth and professional development.
I know how difficult it is to find and choose a supervisor, so I am very happy to meet on Zoom for an initial chat. To see if our personalities and modalities suit and explore the potential of us working together.
So please do get in touch.
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.
