Supervisor

Supervision details

My approach to supervision is compassionate and curious. I believe supervision should be a safe place to explore work with clients and work together to bring creative thought and understanding to your practice. I focus on the following elements of supervision:

Process - Understanding - Curiosity - Theory - Boundaries - Ethics - Best Practice

Supervision sessions with me are supportive, encouraging and non judgemental, focussing on processing your work with clients, supporting you to develop your practice, and upholding ethical principles.

Having worked as a therapist myself for many years I have a wealth of personal experience to offer, I currently supervise both trainees and qualified therapists working in many different environments and services and in private practice.

I am also a Counselling Diploma Tutor at a London training institution so I bring an in depth theoretical knowledge to supervision.

I trained integratively and have a great respect for different modalities. I work with Attachment, Person Centred, Psychodynamic, Gestalt, TA and Solution Focussed theories. I am happy to supervise using the theoretical models you are most attuned with. I am BACP Accredited.

Please get in touch if you would like to discuss working with me.

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.
