Supervision details
Supervision work is integral to working safely and effectively with clients. My practice is a space where supervisees can bring themselves and their work for open discussions and consideration of how their work is going. My supervision training offered useful theory around this particular relationship and the boundaries and differences between supervision and counselling which has been invaluable in ensuring my practice stays focussed and curious.
Having worked with a broad range of clients (old and young) with a broad range of needs, in multiple settings (educational, charitable, private) I have a sound knowledge of the types of complications my supervisees may experience in the workplace and what they can expect from their employers as much as from their clients.
I work in an informal yet ordered manner. I want my supervisees to feel safe and relaxed in our meetings and able to open up to reflective conversations around their practice so that we can offer the best possible considerations of their client work. It is also important that I give time to the supervisee themselves and any issues they may be having to cope with outside of their client work. The health and safety of my supervisee is paramount.
I supervise groups and individuals, and trainee therapists.
I adhere to the BACP Ethical Guidelines and undertake my own group and individual supervision.
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.
