Supervision details
I offer supervision to therapists, or those in related professions, for £60 for one hour or £80 for an hour and a half. I am enthusiastic and knowledgeable with lots of experience supervising counselling/psychotherapy students from diploma to doctoral level. I am on the list of recommended supervisors at University of Edinburgh, University of Strathclyde, Metanoia Institute, and Persona Training and Development. I also supervise two groups of students at The Awareness Centre in London and four groups of students at Metanoia Institute in London - both online.
I use the seven eyed model of supervision which is very reflective and encompasses systemic issues, client work, and our relationship as supervisor/supervisee. I appreciate intersectionality, and encourage students to reflect on this in their work. I am here to ensure you achieve what you want to as a therapist, for your clients and for your own career.
I offer supervision online all week, and in person in Edinburgh on Wednesdays.
Working as a therapist can be extremely challenging both personally and professionally and good supervision is extremely important to prevent burn out and to continue to develop your skills and knowledge. I always start from a position of respect for your existing skills as a practitioner. I see myself as being alongside you in your work, going at your pace, and collaborating with you. If you are thinking about going into private practice, I can support you in doing so. If you are thinking about accreditation I can support you through this.
I have a lot of experience supervising psychotherapists, nurses, occupational therapists, and social workers in the NHS mental health field. I can help you with any safeguarding concerns or risk issues that are worrying you. As a therapist I have experience of working with sexual abuse, family estrangement, personality disorder, and post traumatic stress, amongst other difficulties. I have worked for the NHS as well as working privately for over 10 years.
I am a PhD student at University of Edinburgh.
I hold a number of qualifications in different areas of psychotherapy, which I draw on to support your work including personal centred, EMDR, mentalisation, and mindfulness.
I love learning about therapy, so wherever you have other skills or interests I seek to nurture these and appreciate you as a whole person.
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.
