Supervision details
It took me 10 years to decide to further qualify to be a counselling supervisor and I have now been offering clinical support to counsellors and mental health practitioners, both individual and groups for 8 years. My approach to supervision is based on the Seven Eyed Model
The Seven-Eyed Model of Supervision, developed by Peter Hawkins and Robin Shohet, integrates relational and systemic aspects into a single theoretical framework. It invites supervisors to explore their work through seven distinct lenses or "eyes," which include:
The client - understanding the client's experience.
The therapist's interventions - reflecting on the therapist's actions and methods.
The relationship between the client and therapist - examining the dynamics at play.
The supervisor's role - considering the supervisor's influence and perspective.
The organizational context - recognizing the impact of the broader environment.
The professional development of the therapist - focusing on growth and learning.
The ethical considerations - ensuring ethical practice throughout the supervision process.
This model encourages a comprehensive reflection on all relationships involved in therapy, enhancing the supervision experience
If you would like to discuss how I work further, please get in contact by phone or email.
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.
