Supervision details
Qualified clinical, consultative supervisor -using reflective and creative approaches to support you in your client work.
|Student counsellors/psychotherapists are very welcome, with flexible support offered to meet your requirements. Experienced supervision supports your learning, development and identity as a practitioner through the lens of your client work. I aim to create the conditions for honest reflection, deepening awareness of yourself in relation to clients and your development as a practitioner within your chosen modality.
Counsellors and psychotherapists are required to have supervision by most professional bodies. Other practitioners will find value in regular or one-off supervision to look at their responses to clients - for example those people who seem to be stuck, or who evoke a difficult reaction in you, or when you have been faced with a difficult disclosure. Workers in other settings, such as those who do 1:1 care or support work or who work in challenging managerial or other roles find the experience of external consultative supervision supportive and developmental. I have many years experience supervising staff in a variety of roles and have designed and delivered short courses on supervision to new managers. This combined with my background training in social work and my long experience of working in supporting collective and self-advocacy/participation in learning disability and mental health services has given me a thorough grounding in applying supervision models to support workers, encourage reflective practice and facilitate transformation.
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.
