Supervision details
I have been a qualified counsellor since 2006 and am a registered member of the BACP. I have a BSc in Therapeutic Counselling, along with a Diploma, Certificate in CBT from Sheffield University in 2008 and a Certicificate in Person Centred Counselling.I aim to offer a safe, proffessional and growth provoking environment in which supervisees can explore and evaluate their clinical work. This includes client centred supervision that focuses on the supervisee's work with the client and person centred supervision that allows the supervisee to focus upon their own process whilst working with clients and exploration of any impact this may have on them.I believe that the supervision process should mirror the counselling relationship in the sense of creating the right environment for trust, openess, non judgement, equal and safe, allowing the supervisee to feel they are able to share comfortably anything they want to bring along to supervision and so allow their own growth and experience and gain clarity into their own practice and be responsible for this.
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.
