Supervision details
"The sense of Supervision as being an oasis or a fireside, a place where a weary traveller can take some respite and nourishment to continue his or her professional journey." (Hewson J, 2008)
At the roots of my work as a therapist, tutor and supervisor, is the relationship. The relationship as the fundamental vehicle for change both professionally and personally. I see supervision as a time and space to explore the landscape of the work and the humans within that landscape. Theory provides a map to navigate by, ethics provide us the boundaries to maintain safe experiences for clients, supervisees and supervisors.
My aim is to come alongside my supervisees with curiosity, empathy, new perspectives and challenge. I see supervision as a process by which to empower my supervisees in their own development and exploration.
I obtained my Supervision Diploma through The Iron Mill College.
As a therapist my theoretical underpinnings are as a Humanistic Integrative practitioner, incorporating Psychodynamic, TA, Attachment and Systemic theories and I am trauma informed.
I worked as part of the Clouds / Action on Addiction Families team for 15 years, developing and facilitating a range of programmes, including the M-PACT programme ( for families affected by parental substance use) and the residential Family Programme. I have been teaching with Redlands Counselling, training new counsellors for five years.
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.
