Supervision details
In our supervision, you will experience a collaborative process where you will feel supported, empowered, challenged and heard. I believe that the process of finding the right supervisor should be thorough and thoughtful, therefore, I offer a free consultation of up to 30 minutes to all prospective supervisees. I aim to get to know each supervisee individually – how you work, what are your strengths and how you want to grow in your counselling practice. It is important that you feel safe to explore your challenges and vulnerabilities. My supervision is informed by the Seven Eyed Model (Hawkins & Shohet) but I take an integrative approach that will help you view your work from different theoretical perspectives and, at the same time, allow a safe and accepting space for you to practice within your own modality and explore issues particular to you and your clients. As a counsellor, I take an Integrative approach rooted in:
Theories of attachment, trauma and neuroscience
Influences of EMDR, DDD, IFS/Parts work and Somatic therapies
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Roger’s Core Conditions
As an Integrative counsellor, I work with adults, children, young people and families. My work with children and young people is generally as part of family therapy. My practice covers a range of issues with a particular focus on childhood trauma (attachment trauma, complex trauma (C-PTSD), developmental trauma). Other areas of specialism include, but not limited to:
Relationships
Self-worth, self-esteem and confidence
Fostering and adoption
Anxiety
Depression
And I have experience in the following areas:
Private practice
Independent Fostering Agencies
Employee Assistance Providers
Registered Adoption Counsellor (Ofsted Supplier number 59923)
Senior Schools
Colleges
I am a qualified practitioner in EMDR and Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP). Themes and theories of both these modalities can influence our work together but I'm not specifically qualified as a supervisor for either of these.
As a supervisor, I will bring together my knowledge and experience to support you in your practice. I currently see both qualified and trainee supervisees in my independent practice in Southbourne and online via Zoom. I abide by the BACP Ethical Framework.
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.
