Supervision details
I provide counselling supervision to counsellors and counsellors-in-training from my private practice in Hanham, Bristol. I aim to create an open and warm environment where you will feel supported to bring your concerns about your clients or any difficulties or issues within your work. Counselling can be demanding and challenging work and I understand the stresses it can bring as well as the rewards.As within counselling, I believe it is the relationship of trust between supervisor and supervisee which allows for creative thinking about the work and the ability to see things from new perspectives. I see the process of supervision as a collaborative one but also see the supervisor's role as one of providing safe containment and a space to be psychologically 'held' in the work. Qualifications and Experience I gained my Certificate in Counselling Supervision from the University of Wales, Newport in 2003 and have since supervised both experienced counsellors and those in training. I have also supported several counsellors through the process applying for of BACP accreditation. My own theoretical background is integrative, drawing mainly from psychodynamic and person-centred theory. I am also interested in existential and psychoanalytic approaches to counselling and psychotherapy. FeesSessions of 50 minutes cost £50 Sessions of 90 minutes cost £70
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.
