Supervision details
As a supervisor, I support therapists and other supervisors to empower themselves and to maximise their potential while working with clients/supervisees. My approach is integrative based on the Seven-Eyed model of supervision, and drawing on many other models as seem appropriate and utilising the methods gleaned throughout my years of experience as a supervisor and as a psychosynthesis therapist. I also sometimes include creative skills from my career as an actor incorporating improvisation and drama into my supervision work.
I offer individual or group supervision in London Bridge, on the phone or online.
Fees
I operate a sliding fee scale. The current normal range for individuals is £65-£75 per 50-minute supervision, with longer sessions available on request.
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.
