Supervision details
Choosing the right supervisor is naturally a critical element in your profession so you can be fully supported in your chosen profession or role as a Counsellor or Therapist. To help you make this choice, I have outlined my experience as a qualified clinical supervisor; I am an integrative counsellor from a humanistic background and trained to BA Hons level. I am also a qualified Couples Therapist and a qualified Adoption Support Counsellor. I draw upon Gestalt, Existentialism and elements of CBT to support supervisees. Please see my counselling profile for details of my client experience. I offer supervisees a warm and professional relationship where your professional and personal development is encouraged as is your own style of practice. I aim to build a collaborative relationship where open and honest dialogue is the foundation. Supervision is blended to meet your needs but generally structured alongside Page & Wosket's Cyclical model. The balance of each session will be determined by you. I offer supervision at £75 per session lasting one and half hours on a monthly basis. I offer reduced rates for students.
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.
