Supervision details
I have substantial NHS experience in adult mental health and have been supervising Arts Psychotherapists, Trainees and other Allied Health Professionals affiliated to psychological services for over 24 years. The supervision I give in the NHS offers vital support and a thinking environment to clinicians engaged in individual and/or group psychotherapy interventions. In private practice I provide supervision to Trainees, Counsellors and Arts Psychotherapists at all stages of their professional development. I place a particular emphasis on providing a safe, thoughtful and containing space in which to explore your own thinking and practice in order to help you work more insightfully and effectively. I like to foster curiosity in counselling and psychotherapy by thinking about theoretical models, clinical techniques, the use of the art form and how these may be applied in practice. Supervision is an essential aspect of looking after yourself and your clients. As well as offering supervision to individuals, I provide supervision to groups and pairs. I am a BACP accredited counsellor and psychotherapist, a state registered dramatherapist with the Health and Care Professions Council and member of the British Association of Dramatherapists. I am a group work practitioner and associate member with the Institute of Group Analysis. I practice in line with these institutions code of ethics and conducts. Other Experience In my capacity as a group work practitioner I have run experiential groups for the Counselling Foundation for the trainees of their foundation and diploma courses in psychodynamic counselling. I have run clinical supervision groups for staff in the charity sector. I have been a visiting university lecturer to Arts Psychotherapies MA training courses.
The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
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.
