Supervision details
Hi, I offer supervision to individual counsellors in my private practice in Worthing. My supervision style is to encourage exploration through accepting the complexity of the work. There is often a lot more going on than is immediately apparent. Sometimes it can be hard to know what's going on with our clients and other times we want new ideas and possible insights; a different perspective to consider. The majority of my work is longer term, so I tend not to work with counsellors who work predominantly in a time-limited style. I am familiar with the majority of models used and believe in helping the counsellor develop their own particular style which is congruent for them and works for their clients. My style is to offer the possibility of a deeper understanding of the work, give support and guidance when needed and help the counsellor explore their interventions from different angles. I don't believe there is one "right" way to counsel and that supervision reflects the counselling process, creating a trusting relationship where exploration is made possible, owning the things we feel good about and also those times when we wonder what we're doing! I am Clinical Supervisor at the Information Shop in Chichester and at Arun Counselling Centre in Littlehampton. I work with counsellors who are experienced, qualified counsellors and inexperienced, unqualified counsellors. My supervisees have been trained in a range of models including Integrative, Psychodynamic, Humanistic and TA. If this sounds like the type of supervision that might work for you, send me an email and we can meet up for an informal chat before deciding whether to work together.
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.
