Supervision details
My supervisory approach is working with an integrated approach to supervision helping therapists and counsellors to support their clients in a safe, ethical and professional way.
I'm a firm believer in promoting a restorative practice whereby as counsellors/therapists we have a duty to look after ourselves in order we can best support our clients. Having a supervisor we can relate to is a key factor in reducing client fatigue and burn-out.
Since 2017 I have supervised counsellors on placement (trainee and qualified) with the children's mental health charity Place2Be. I have previously supervised bereavement volunteers for the national bereavement charity Cruse.
Further to my on-the-job experience as a supervisor, in 2023 I completed my training for a Level 6 certificate with Place2Be and accredited by the CPCAB. My training has been influenced using Shohet & Hawkins 'Seven-eyed Model of Supervision' but I am also influenced by the work of the chartered counselling psychologist Michael Carroll.
My charges range from £45.00 per 1.5 hour session for counselling trainees/students, to £65.00 per 1.5 hour session for qualified counsellors and psychotherapists. I do offer an hourly rate if required.
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.
