Supervision details

I'm a UKCP-registered, integrative therapist and clinical supervisor who has been offering counselling to clients in Cambridge, Ipswich and Cheltenham since 2012. 

In addition to my initial integrative training, I have studied Interpersonal Neurobiology with the Mindsight Institute (Dr Dan Siegel, California) over several years and during 2018-19 I undertook all three levels of formal IFS training with the IFS Institute, certifying to Level 3 after completing an in-person training with Richard Schwartz in Italy in 2019.

As an integrative therapist myself, I understand the opportunities and difficulties encountered by counsellors and therapists trained in client-centred, psychodynamic and integrative modalities wishing to incorporate an IFS, parts-based approach into the their work. 

If you'd like to meet online to discuss the potential of our working together, please email me at sarahtomley@icloud.com

UKCP
UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP)

The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.

As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.

UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
