Supervision details

I gained my Certificate in Supervision from York St John University in 2016.  I thoroughly enjoyed this training and undertook a supervision group as part of my training- this group has continued post qualification as everyone gained so much from it.  I have always enjoyed my own supervision space and time for reflection and exploration- to be able to facilitate this for others is my hope.  Available at at a variety of venues in Newcastle County Durham and South Tyneside at a variety of times.  Experienced with counsellors working in general practice, schools (both primary and secondary), private practice etc.  

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
