Integrative Counsellor Dip Couns, Dip CBT, MBACP CoP accrd.

Supervision details

I will be offering integrative clinical supervision, grounded primarily in Person-Centred and CBT approaches and informed by the Seven-Eyed Model of Supervision.

I am currently undertaking specialist training in clinical supervision and will be accepting supervisees from 2027.

I bring over 16 years’ experience as a counsellor,  across a broad range of presenting issues. My therapeutic practice is integrative, predominantly drawing upon Person-Centred Therapy and CBT.

My approach to supervision is collaborative, reflective and appropriately challenging. I want supervision to be a space where you can think openly about your client work, explore what may be happening within the therapeutic relationship and reflect honestly on your own responses.

We can explore client work alongside ethical dilemmas, boundaries, safeguarding, risk, professional development and the wider context of your practice.

I particularly value supervision that encourages curiosity and to feel supported. I want supervisees to feel able to bring the work they are struggling with, feeling stuck with or questioning,  not simply the work that is going well.

I welcome enquiries from both qualified and trainee counsellors who feel my approach may be a good fit.

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.

Key details

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
