Supervision details
I trained as an integrative supervisor at the Metanoia Institute and I am on their list as an approved (UKCP compliant) clinical supervisor.
Therapy can be challenging throwing up many complex questions with even more complex answers. The clinical supervision I offer aims to develop my supervisee's own inner supervisor so that they can tackle these issues without rescuing or advising their client while fulfilling their ethical duty to work in the best interests of their client. Getting a clinical supervisor's more experienced and skilled view and feedback supports the supervisee's developing therapeutic approach to adapt to the complex needs of their diverse clients.
In my clinical supervision I support counselling and psychotherapy supervisees by offering oversight of the clients they bring to me and my view as a more experienced practitioner – a safety net for both the supervisee and the supervisee’s client. I maintain my clinical supervision experience by working with my own therapy clients as well as having my own one to one and peer clinical supervision. This helps me support my supervisees hone their own diagnostic and treatment planning skills and work with their therapy clients.
The clinical supervision I offer also ensures that my supervisees look after themselves with appropriate on-going self-care to minimise and manage the brutal impact of vicarious trauma. My clinical supervision also covers how each supervisee maintains their knowledge and skills with appropriately targeted CPD.
Therapy is a confidential undertaking to help trainee and qualified therapists glean increased insight and support from clinical supervision while feeling supported when struggling with a challenging or complex client.
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.
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.
