Supervision details
I am a qualified clinical supervisor who offers individual and group supervision to a number of professionals ranging from students in training, support workers, social workers and counsellors. The supervision modality I work within is from an integrative approach encompassing the Psychodynamic, Person-Centred, CBT, (NHS students working within GP surgeries following the NICE guidelines of Step 2 and 3) Solution Focused therapy and Existential core principles. Part of my role as a supervisor is to nurture, support and empower you in your clinical growth as a practitioner in your specialist field. How I do this is by drawing from my experience as a lecturer, psychotherapist, social worker, clinical supervisor and clinical manager, utilising my management, supportive and educational experiences I have acquired throughout my professional career. Noting this, as a supervisor I feel it is important for me also to have an openness and curiosity to the difference and diversity views you bring as a trainee/trained practitioner, with a view of me learning from you also. I believe my role as supervisor is to further nurture and extend your professional knowledge; self-confidence, emotional resilience and `internal supervisor’ whilst working with your clients, service users, patients and residents. One way I strive to do this is by holding an attitude based on being transparent, empathic and congruent in the feedback I provide. Moreover, ensuring this developmental feedback enables you to positively grow and feel empowered stemming from what you have shared surrounding your personal/professional experiences in light of your client work. Noting this, it is my hope, by you experiencing me in this way you will feel safe enough in supervision to become more reflective, playful and curious, whilst presenting both your strengths, uncertainties and vulnerabilities of your client work and yourself; with a view of both your clients and you reaching your goals. Finally, I feel part of my role, as a supervisor is to have an understanding and respect of the cultural differences between both you and myself in the supervisory relationship. How I strive to do this is by me being self-aware of my own cultural counter-transference in response to your own cultural way of seeing things. Moreover, ensuring my own cultural values and beliefs are not imposed onto you in the supervisory relationship. By me holding this in mind, helps to create a safe, learning, reflective environment and foster good intrapersonal relationships between both you and myself. I offer individual or small group supervision (maximum 3 in a group – 90 minutes). If providing supervision for an organization, we can negotiate providing the service at the organization location.

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).
