Supervision details
I have been a qualified Supervisor since 2011, I completed a Diploma qualification in creative supervision recognized by BACP. I offer one to one and group supervision to all theoretical backgrounds and offer supervision to volunteer and qualified counsellors, supporting the counsellor to offer the client an ethical, safe, confidential and supportive environment, exploring and reducing risk. (Safeguarding children and vulnerable adults) I have Twelve years' experience working as a supervisor and working with supervisees with diverse theoretical backgrounds. Supervision is exploring cohesively (supervisor & counsellor) the therapeutic relationship, exploring risks, any safeguarding issues, and supporting counsellor to ensure they are working and adhering to the BACP ethical guidelines. Supervision is also supporting the wellbeing of the supervisee and reflecting on any difficulties or triggers that may arise in supervisees counselling sessions, encouraging and promoting self-care. I believe that the supervisory relationship mirrors the counselling therapeutic relationship, when the right conditions are present such as trust, congruence, unconditional positive regard and empathy with a non-judgmental attitude, counsellors will take risks to explore situations that may arise in their counselling sessions such as feeling stuck, bored, sexuality, differences in the therapeutic relationship and triggers to supervisees own experiences. Supervision is an Ethical requirement, where ethics, equality & diversity, boundaries and self-development are explored to enhance the therapeutic practice. I am also able to support supervisees/counsellors who are wanting to complete their accreditation and would like to discuss completion of their accreditation and procedures necessary. I am also offering online and telephone supervision, supporting counsellors that are unable to attend face to face supervision. If you need any further information, please call me for a brief chat. I look forward to hearing from you.
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.
