Supervision details
I hold a Certificate in OCN Supervision and currently supervise both qualified and trainee counsellors within a group setting or on a one-to-one basis. As with other aspects of my practice, I draw on a variety of perspectives, but my main approach is person-centred, where I gently challenge existing ideas and approaches to enrich and develop knowledge, skills and experience. I aim to provide a non-judgemental, collaborative environment where supervisees feel supported to meet all aspects of their clinical work. Professional and personal development in supervision is rooted in an understanding that by engaging with the difficult aspects of our work with clients we can increase our self awareness, develop a healthy internal supervisor, increase our effectiveness as therapists and thereby ensure that we are providing the best possible service to our clients. I am a Supervisor for Buckinghamshire Cruse Bereavement Care and have also volunteered as a Bereavement Counsellor since 2005, specialising in bereavement by suicide. I have a private practice am flexible and can offer sessions in the supervisee’s home if it is easier. I charge £45 per hour or £65 for one and a half hours (negotiable rates for trainees) and I can offer both time-limited or open-ended sessions. Please do not hesitate to contact me for an initial chat or to book an appointment.
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.
