Supervision details
I am a BACP accredited counsellor and psychotherapist and qualified supervisor. My supervisory practice is informed by 20 years of working therapeutically in a variety of contexts, including private practice, substance misuse rehabilitation centres and psychiatric as well as forensic settings. I hold a Diploma in Integrative Supervision. I see it as my main task as a supervisor to help you integrate your professional and personal background with your lived experience of your client work. Drawing mainly on Hawkins' and Shoet's Model of the Parallel Process in Supervision, we would explore the various layers of meaning in your client interactions and draw conclusions in either an eclectic or, if you so wish, in an exclusively Client Centred and Rogerian way. I charge £100 for an individual supervision session and £40 for a 90 minute group supervision session (up to 4 supervisees).
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.
