Supervision details
Supervision is more than a requirement; it’s a collaborative and supportive process. It offers space to reflect on your client work, explore challenges, and strengthen your practice, while also acknowledging the emotional impact of the work and supporting your wellbeing.
My aim is to provide a safe, encouraging environment where you feel able to bring your questions, uncertainties, and insights. Together, we’ll focus on safe, ethical and professional practice, while also using supervision as an opportunity for growth and renewal.
Although my core philosophy is person-centred, I have supervised practitioners from a variety of modalities and enjoy exploring different theories in practice. I also bring many years of experience from my work with Place2Be, a national children’s mental health charity, where I worked as both a school-based counsellor and supervisor. I am comfortable working creatively and with metaphor in supervision, helping supervisees find new perspectives and ways of thinking.
For me, supervision is about building a strong and trusting supervisory alliance with shared objectives, so that you feel supported, confident and resilient in your work with clients.
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.
