Supervision details
My supervision training was at the Manchester institute of psychotherapy. The supervision style is based on the seven- eyed supervision process model (Peter Hawkins and Robin Shoet) I offer a comfortable environment where, as with Person Centred Counselling, the relationship is key. Working as a predominantly person centred Supervisor my aim is to provide a safe space in which the supervisee can have a supportive and meaningful experience. The relationship between supervisor and supervisee has important differences from a relationship between therapist and client, but is still underpinned by the core conditions of empathy, congruence and unconditional positive regard. I believe the relationship is vital in helping the supervisee feel accepted and not judged essentially helping the supervisee to enhance their self awareness both personally and professionally.
I also run group supervision working with trainee and qualified counsellors. Where I facilitate the group by offering good ethical practice in a safe and comfortable environment, enabling counsellors to come together and support each-other. If you would like further details and dates of groups supervision please email me - karenpinder.counselling@gmail.com
My specialist area is loss and bereavement, Anxiety, trauma, working creatively, I also work with clients coping with stress, relationships, depression and much more. Supervision provides a space to explore and reflect not just upon the client work or dynamic but also to examine how it challenges you or affects you as an individual, being open to that challenge is where the growth happens. I work with individuals who are person centred and integrative, in my client work I enjoy working creatively and when appropriate will introduce in to supervision if that is something which interests you. I work with newly qualified, in-training or in need of a change. Please call for more information.

National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS)
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society
This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations.
In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
