Supervision details
For me supervision is a collaborative process, where we work together support your growth and development. I am really inspired by Zachary's idea that supervision is about "becoming students of our own experience... sitting at the feet of our work". I am currently training at TA East to become an intersectionally aware supervisor, because I have a great interest in themes of difference, power, marginalisation, oppression and privilege.
The work you might bring can be anything ranging from individual client presentations, the therapeutic relationship, your own growth or the system in which you work. It is your space in which I want to support you to understand yourself better as a professional and in your work. For this I use a strength-based approach.
I have practised as a supervisor in social care settings for three years, working primarily with teams and individuals supporting service users struggling with mental health, personality disorders, complex needs and entrenched homelessness. I have worked as a psychotherapeutic counsellor for individuals, couples and other significant relationships in private practice since 2010. Having had such a varied background I am able to work with supervisees who work in private practice, in statutory services and in the voluntary sector.
I'm open and flexible, congruent and encouraging and above all curious about people and what is going on for them. I will support you in your self reflection and offer a non-judgemental space where I hope you will feel approached as an equal. To work effectively I find it important that we to get to know each other as people, therefore I recommend regular supervision for a minimum of once a month. More frequent sessions can be arranged either on a regular basis or occasionally when the need arises. Of course new supervisees are welcome to have a chat on the phone first or try me out before they commit to regular sessions.
Most of my supervision takes place on Fridays, other days might be possible too. If there is something urgent there is always the opportunity to catch up ad hoc to see how I can support you.
My fees are £77 per 50 minute session. I offer a discount for trainees and people who are in unpaid placements.
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.
