Supervision details
Supervision for you:I offer supervision to practitioners within the helping professions - whether that is the NHS, Private Practice or a Voluntary Agency Setting. I offer a reflective, relational approach to supervision sessions; that is affirming in nature, where you will feel valued and seen, both as a professional and as yourself. In supervision, there is the opportunity to grow as a practitioner through honest and open enquiry, in an atmosphere of encouragement and collaboration, that values human relationship and supports the natural development of your own work. My Professional background: Having trained as both a BACP Integrative Humanistic Counsellor and a UKCP Mindfulness-based Humanistic Psychotherapist (Accredited, MA) I bring many years of experience with clients - in different therapeutic work settings - (NHS, Alcohol Services, Carers Services, Social Services, Education, Psychiatric Hospital) to inform my responses in supervision. I describe myself as a Humanistic, Integrative Supervisor. I am a UKCP recognised Supervisor. I trained at 'The Centre for Supervision and Team Development', in Bath, UK (www.cstdbath.co.uk) where I received my UKCP Diploma in Supervision in 2019. Further detailed information on supervision is available on www.mariehoward.co.uk or please do call me, to speak in person on 07742 054830.
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.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
