Supervision details
We will explore together what you need as an individual from your Supervision sessions. I work from a Humanistic/Relational place and will offer you a safe space for us to explore together all aspects of your client work. I believe that supervision is a collaborative process, that there will be opportunities for reflection, education and support; working within the guidelines of your professional body’s ethical framework. My hope is that you will feel brave enough to share whatever you need to share with no fear of judgement. This will ensure that your practice remains safe and ethical and you feel supported in your work. I offer a free introductory meeting or phone call in order for us to determine if we are a good fit.
In addition to adults, I have worked extensively with children and young people. If you are a counsellor who works with children and young people, I would be happy to Supervise your work.
I have a Diploma in Supervision from Leeds Centre for Psychological Development. I have provided Clinical Supervision in various roles since 2014. including 2023/24 was Clinical Supervisor at York St John University Communities Centre and in addition run a successful private practice.
Sessions are currently available face to face and online
Sessions are £50 per hour & £75 for 1.5 hours

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.
