Supervision details
I hold a Diploma in Integrative Supervision of Individuals and Groups which meets the rigorous supervision training standards as set out by the BACP and work with both qualified and trainee therapists.
How I work: I believe in the absolute necessity and benefit of a supportive, consultative and restorative space for you to reflect openly on different aspects of your therapeutic work, one that I also hope will foster mutual curiosity, playfulness and learning for us both.
I encourage you to ‘come as you are’ – my aim is to provide a containing and adaptable space to meet your various needs and review your caseload. My therapeutic model is integrative with an attachment informed and relational focus and supports a variety of therapeutic approaches.
I contain our supervisory work with the Hawkins and Shohet Seven-Eyed Model of Supervision.
Individual Supervision: Supervision sessions for qualified and trainee individuals can be either 60 or 90 minutes long.
Individual Supervision for Qualified Practitioners – £60 / £90 Individual Supervision for Trainee Practitioners – £40 / £60
Supervisor Reports: I may have a role in assessing your work or providing reports for training purposes, professional matters, or employment references. Should it take more than 30 minutes to prepare any report, then we can agree a fee for me doing this. With the exception of an employment reference, I will always share this report with you.
Payment and terms: Payments are to be made via bank transfer and to be paid 48 hours prior to the session. Missed or cancelled sessions are payable in full regardless of the reason except for agreed holidays. I will review my fees annually.

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.
