Supervision details
I am an experienced supervisor, counsellor and course tutor, with my core training and teaching rooted in the person-centred approach. My clinical experience includes working with young people and families within adoption services, informed by an attachment-focused framework.
I offer supervision to counsellors at different stages of their professional development, from trainees beginning client work to more experienced practitioners. This includes supporting counsellors working within organisations, as well as those in private practice or holding dual roles such as practitioner and manager.
My approach to supervision is grounded in the supervisee’s experience, with a focus on developing your understanding of client work, yourself as a practitioner, and the wider context of your practice. I aim to provide a warm, thoughtful and ethical space where you feel able to reflect openly.
Alongside this supportive space, I offer gentle challenge where appropriate, supporting your ongoing professional development and confidence in your work. I also pay attention to the wider context of therapy, including issues of difference, diversity and the demands of the settings in which you work.
A reflective and reflexive approach to practice is encouraged throughout, with supervision shaped around your individual needs and stage of development.
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.
