My main Supervision Model is the Seven Eyed Model (Hawkins and Shohet). Clinical Supervision gives you the space to explore your client work, reflect on how you are working, look at different models and ways of being with clients, to enhance your therapeutic work.  Supervision gives you the opportunity to identify things which may impact on both you and your clients and your relationship. 

I believe an important part of my role is to get to know you as a person and as a therapist or Health Professional, developing our working alliance.  I offer you encouragement and support, whilst referring to the BACP Ethical Framework, keeping you and your clients safe.

Training and Experience

I initially trained in Psychology and Community Work, using my skills to support homeless children and vulnerable families in London.  I taught Psychology and whilst working in the Public Sector for many years, I had the opportunity to obtain Business Management and Mentoring qualifications.  My approach is Person-Centred and my main Therapeutic Model is Gestalt, I hold qualifications to an advanced level. 

I am qualified in CBT and Transactional Analysis.  I completed my Counselling training at the Iron Mill College in Exeter and the Heartwood Institute in Dartington.  I am a Registered Member of the BACP and fully insured.   I am an Accredited Psychotherapist with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).  I am BUPA Recognised Therapist.

During my Counselling training, I worked in a low cost Counselling Agency, supporting both young people and adults.  In addition, I was a Family Reflector in a Family Therapy Clinic, which I thoroughly enjoyed.  I previously provided supervision and mentoring for a Young People's Charity: working with young people and schools.

For the past 10 years, I have been working with the Amber Foundation and with the Intercom Trust.  I am currently working with local Secondary schools, providing supervision to Safeguarding staff, Senior Management and School Counsellors.  I work with a Mid Devon Youth Club, supporting and mentoring Young People. 

I believe that my extensive training and experiences have given me valuable insight and knowledge into many different areas that impact on clients and counselling work.

NCPS
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.

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.
