Supervision details
Supervision I am a qualified supervisor and have had eight years working with supervisee’s within the Cruse Bereavement care organisation. As a Person Centred Counsellor I take this approach into my supervision work and have supervised a range of supervisee’s from University placement setting to experienced counsellors. Supervising can be a challenge and I have experienced many issues that are wide ranging in my work as a supervisor. I offer individual supervision or group work and I am always happy to talk through the options that may be best suited for your requirements. As a person centred therapist I put great value in the relationship between client and therapist and also between supervisor and supervisee, with this in mind I can offer an initial session to give us both a feel of how we might work together, there would be no commitment on your part as to continuing our supervision after this initial session. As a therapist / counsellor I have worked over the last ten years with Cruse Bereavement Care, Private practice and also within the NHS with I.A.P’s work. Having had this varied client load has meant that I have experienced a range of supervisors that have all added to my experience as a supervisor; this I feel has been invaluable with my growth in supervision work. I have also experienced group supervision as a therapist which has been highly beneficial to my own supervision group work.
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.
