Supervision details
I am qualified in counselling psychology, specialised psychotherapy and counselling, providing wide range of clinical supervision for counsellors, psychotherapists and trainee psychologists for their clinical work with clients. My approach is integrative and collaborative, while being specialised in multicultural interventions to psychotherapy and supervision, enables me to work with therapists with multi-cultural background and those who work with diverse cultures. I use Steve Page and Val Wosket's "Supervising The Counsellor A Cyclical Model" that is designed to meet the needs of the trained and experienced practitioner as well as the supervision requirements of the student or trainees therapists, arguing forcefully that training and professional development are essential for effective clinical supervision.I believe in parallel process between supervisor and supervisee.
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.
The Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP) sets, maintains and develops standards in the practice of counselling and psychotherapy.
IACP offers different membership categories, e.g. Student Member, Pre-Accredited, Accredited Member, with the different categories standing for different levels of training and experience. Accredited Members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
IACP have a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints 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).
