Supervision details
I have over 10 years' experience supervising individuals and groups in my private practice and within the charitable sector as well as private organisations. I can work with you in my calm and comfortable room in Eastbourne town centre or online using the Zoom platform or a combination of both. I offer concessions to counsellors in training.
I initially qualified as a supervisor with Cruse Bereavement Care and went on to obtain my Diploma in Supervision from the Link Centre. My aim is to offer supervisees an encouraging and nurturing environment where we can work collaboratively; a safe space where I hope you will feel confident to bring your work with clients and anything that concerns you without fear of feeling judged or being shamed. Although there will always be challenges when working in a therapeutic environment, my aim is to facilitate and guide you and to help you to grow and develop within your practice and I will always encourage you to celebrate your achievements.
I am mainly influenced by Inskipp & Proctor's Normative, Formative, Restorative approach as well as by Hawkins & Shohet's seven-eyed process model and the operational model of Mazzetti.
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.
