Supervision details
Welcome to my profile. If you’re looking for a proactive, passionate person to help you develop as a counsellor then please read on.
Supervision is important to me as I know how integral it is to become the best counsellor you can be. I’ve been fortunate to have very good role models for my own supervision and I’d like to offer that experience to you.
We know that supervision is an ethical requirement for our practice, but it should also provide the opportunity to reflect on and explore our casework in a safe and relaxed environment, something I endeavour to do.
My supervisees describe me as a warm, relatable supervisor, encouraging and gently challenging in a constructive way. My aim is to build a collaborative and professional relationship, getting to know and understand you as a person firstly as well as a counsellor. There’s nothing better to me than watching my supervisees grow and develop, increasing in confidence and delivering a high standard of support in their practice to their clients. With many years’ experience working as a therapist within Relate and private practice, counselling individuals and couples using an integrative approach, I believe I have a lot to give my supervisees.
I also know that developing a private practice is hard work so I would love to offer my support and experience in this area if this is something you need.
If you would like to have a chat to see if I could be the supervisor for you, then please do get in touch.
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.
