Supervision details
Being in private practice can be exciting, but also really daunting. There’s so much to do - clinical work, ethical responsibilities, data protection, money and tax, booking systems, marketing, notes, supervision…!
I provide clinical supervision for counsellors at all stages of their career, but I especially enjoy working with those who are new to private practice. My approach uses the Seven Eyed Model of supervision and is warm, collaborative, and collegial. In supervision with me you don’t have to know everything - your questions, doubts and learning curve are welcomed, not judged.
I want to help you become the best practitioner you can be - ethical, well-resourced, and comfortable in your own style.
In my counselling work, I specialise in clients struggling with perfectionism and impostor syndrome, as well as those managing chronic pain/chronic illness, anxiety, and life stressors. While my initial training was Integrative (Psychodynamic, Person Centred, Cognitive & Existential) I am strongly influenced by my training in Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT). I have a wealth of training and experience, both professional and personal, that informs my work. I want to bring a compassionate, nuanced approach to supervision.
I am an Accredited member of the BACP. I have been in private practice for over 10 years, and qualified as a supervisor in 2021. Alongside clinical insight, I am also practical. Perhaps you want to use supervision for:
- Discussing and navigating ethical dilemmas with confidence
- Helping you find your own style and way of being in your practice
- Holding the difficulties and pain your clients have shared with you
- Celebrating successes and sharing the joy of those
- Developing your own paperwork and systems (contracts, notes, policies)
- Understanding data protection, confidentiality, and record-keeping
- Managing the admin side of practice (HMRC, ICO, boundaries, cancellations)
Whether you're feeling unsure about your client work, overwhelmed by admin, or just looking for a grounded and thoughtful space to reflect, I’d like to offer you a space to grow.
I offer a free half hour initial meeting or Zoom call beforehand to answer your questions & discuss your needs. We can work in person at my therapy space in Sittingbourne, or online. My fee for supervision is £50 per hour (£75 per 1.5 hours).
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.
