Supervision details
I am able to offer weekday and evening supervision for which I charge £50 an hour pro rata. I am happy to offer weekly, fortnightly or monthly support as required depending on client numbers and need and the requirements of your professional body. I have significant experience of supporting qualified therapists and student therapists from a number of disciplines over many years as a supervisor, placement manager and trainer. I have a Masters in Psychodynamic therapy for both adult and child work, plus post registration qualifications in a number of areas, notably as a level 3 trauma therapist and attachment specialist trained in DDP/ PACE and working towards the Practicum . I use EMDR, NVR, DDP and Psychodynamic theory as required in my practice. I have undertaken somatic training in Neuro Affective Touch and am a second year student of Somatic Experiencing, completing in 2024. I have experience of working with those in the care system. I am a trainer and experienced designated safeguarding officer. I have lengthy experience in senior management in both the NHS and the voluntary sector with a good understanding of organisational and professional issues.
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.
