Supervision details
I have been fortunate to experience the value of thoughtful, dedicated supervision throughout my own professional development, and I know the difference that good supervision can make. I work with clinicians who want to deepen their psychodynamic understanding and develop their clinical thinking. This might include exploring unconscious processes, transference and countertransference, and the ways in which a strong psychodynamic frame can be established and maintained.
I also teach these skills to trainees, which keeps me closely engaged with the central theories of psychodynamic practice while continuing to develop my own thinking and learning.
Supervision is offered weekly or fortnightly, either individually or in groups of up to three. I also have experience working across more integrative modalities and seek to work in a way that respects and builds on the clinical principles and convictions you bring. My aim is to create a thoughtful and creative space for understanding, rather than to impose a dogmatic way of working.
Please get in touch if you would like to discuss supervision further.
The British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) is a professional association, representing the profession of psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
The organisation is itself made up of fourteen member organisations and BPC accredits the trainings of its member organisations. An individual who qualifies from one of these trainings is then eligible for entry into the BPC's register.
BPC registrants are governed by a code of ethics, a policy of continuing professional development, a statement on confidentiality and a complaints procedure. The BPC is a Member Society of the European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in the Public Sector (EFPP). Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
