Supervision details
I hold a Diploma in Integrative Supervision from the Minster Centre, which meets the UKCP’s requirements for supervision training. I believe the supervisory relationship is paramount in helping supervisees to gain in confidence, creativity and ethical competence, whilst offering a supportive, creative, and appropriately challenging space for exploring and reflecting on client work and promoting professional growth. As a supervisor, I support supervisees in developing their own skills and personalities. In being less directly engaged with the client, I can be more reflective, using my own experience to help supervisees develop their own unique style of working and their own solutions to difficult work situations.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
