Supervision details
I offer supervision sessions in person in Kingston Upon Thames (KT2) and online (usually via Teams).
My aim with supervision is to provide a space for reflection and learning. The intent is to support my supervisee's professional and personal well-being and development, with the ultimate goal of enabling safe and effective client work. I hope that this can be done through a collaborative relationship which allows for creativity and exploration.
My style of supervision is linked to my therapeutic model - integrating a range of learning and experience, with a particular emphasis on relational aspects. I utilise the Seven-Eyed Model of supervision, along with consideration of ego states, stages of development and the drama triangle (amongst other concepts).
I am happy to supervise case work involving individual adults (18 and over). I don't currently offer supervision to therapists who work primarily with CBT, EMDR or other specialist models.
I adhere to BACP's professional standards and ethical guidelines. Whilst I aim to work collaboratively with my supervisees, I prioritise issues raising clinical risk or safeguarding concerns (for supervisees and their clients).
I offer an initial 30 minute free session to any prospective new supervisee during which we can discuss how we'd work together and, if possible, review a client case as an example.
Once agreed - depending on the supervisee's caseload and supervision requirements - I recommend an hourly session on a monthly basis
Please feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss supervision sessions together.
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.
