Supervision details
I provide consultation with other experienced or trainee therapists face to face or online. I offer 60 or 90 minute sessions with regular frequency to enable you to meet the requirements of your agency and regulatory body. I have an integrative approach to supervision, but broadly follow the Hawkins & Shohet model, including a embodied and relational awareness, one informed by neuroscience, with a systemic and transpersonal understanding. It is also important to embrace our own wounded self as the instrument through which we work, making space for the enactment at the heart of relational therapy, which means tolerating uncertainty, conflict and paradox. While this can be complex, sometimes it is just by opening a particular space that we facilitate transformational experience. I have many years experience of bringing awareness to the habitual position, both personally and around adherance to a specific modality, and of facillitating a safe place to explore and contemplate the implications of how we describe our own world and subsequently meet others in their worlds. An effective supervisor needs to stay aware of the professional and personal development path of the supervisee/therapist, with an awareness of parallel process, and provide a supportive, collegiate balance. I will offer a firm but challenging holding experience for you so that you can offer the same to your clients. Please get in touch if you would like to meet and explore further. My fee for supervision is £60 per hour. (£45 for trainees up to level four).
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.
