Supervision details
When I was training I had the benefit of having a supportive and non-judgemental Supervisor, who I then continued to use until their retirement. The most important part of my supervision was that I knew I could always be honest about my work and know that I would be guided, held and not judged. As a supervisor I too would like to offer that safe space to both trainee and qualified counsellors. Rather like Counselling, connecting with your supervisor, knowing they will challenge when necessary, but be supportive and caring too, is essential and that is what I offer as a Supervisor.
I have an Advanced Diploma in Counselling Supervision and experience with both trainees and qualified counsellors in both group and 1:1. I do offer face to face supervision, however most of my supervision work does tend to be online.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society
This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations.
In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
