Supervision details

I have been a qualified supervisor since 2011 and have a huge amount of experience supporting and helping professionals stay safe and healthy in their challenging work. I have supervised with Savana since qualifying and have worked with qualified members of staff and supported students on placement. Within my job as a Therapy Manager at HMP Dovegate Therapeutic Community (TC), I have managed and supervised a team of 8 staff, facilitating and processing small and large therapy groups on a daily basis. I was responsible for delivering individual supervision for all of the team. I worked with Psychodynamic, Person Centred, Cognitive Behavioural and Analytical concepts as a TC Therapy Manager, helping the team work therapeutically with 20 to 40 residents. I learned that every interaction has therapeutic value and meaning. I work in  supervision with students from Staffs University, Keele University and Buxton College. I   work as a supervisor to local charities and staff from HM Prisons. I am Person Centred as a foundation and use creative methods where appropriate. I am both challenging and supportive within the supervisory relationship to enable the growth of clients and supervisees alike. I am a registered member of the BACPI am an Approved supervisor through the National Counselling Society. I am now offering Equine Supported Supervision. This type of supervision takes place in the presence of  horses and offers the supervisee insight into their unconscious relationship with their clients and possible emotional blocks in their work. The horses often reflect back to us what is going on for us in the way they behave and interact with each other. Equine Supported Supervision takes place at Booth Hall Farm, Stoke on Trent. People often find that being outside with the horses offers an instant opportunity to feel freed up and lighter with whatever they may be carrying from their client work. Please contact me if you would like to experience this way of working and see if it fits with your needs.http://www.nationalcounsellingsociety.org/

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.

Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
