Supervision details
I have been providing supervision for student counsellors and counsellors in private practice for the last few years, as well as providing supervision for counsellors who are working with couples in therapy.
I also provide supervision for people working in organisations which provide mental health support. This maybe via ISVA’s (Independent Sexual Violence Advisors), young people’s support groups or through various charities and training organisations
My experience of running a counselling service for a charity for five years, plus my own private practice, has given me a wealth of experience which has been invaluable in providing supervision.
Looking after student counsellors in placement has given me plenty of insight into what they need and expect from the supervision process.
I believe that the supervisory relationship is paramount in helping counsellors become more confident and knowledgeable in their approach to client work. I know how much my own supervision has helped me and continues to do so, and I would like to provide this for others.
My fees are £60 per hourly session and I offer a reduced rate of £55 for students until they are qualified.
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.
