Supervision details
Supervision is all about 'doing no harm' and that includes client, therapist, employer, and employee. For counsellors / psychotherapists, supervision ensures that you are practising safely and effectively, it helps you grow and learn as a therapist, integrate theory, untangle what is yours and what is theirs, and support you in your work with clients, as well as the growth of your business. For psychotherapists working clinically, it is a forum for good structure and process around diagnosis and treatment planning. For employees it ensures you are heard and seen by your employers, appreciated for the work you do well, and encouraged to learn new skills and challenge your 'growing edges' (areas for growth). For employers, owners and directors, having supervision means you have somewhere to offload and get supported yourself. I offer a choice of either individual or group supervision for:
Counsellors and psychotherapists Counselling and psychotherapy students Professionals working in a therapeutic way with others, such as social workers, nurses etc. Employees, as an external service that either compliments or replaces exsiting supervision Employers, business owners, and directors
At the beginning of new groups, and for new members / clients, we will set out a business contract to begin with, outlining fees, conduct, dates, times and location, and how we may all work together. We will also set a contract about each piece of supervision brought, which will typically include what is being brought and what you may want from the supervision process. For more details about the supervision on offer, check out our <a href="http://ongoingsupport.org.uk/supervision/" target="_blank">website</a>.
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.
