Supervision details
After 17 years as a therapist In NHS, private practice and not for profit sectors, I qualified to train as a supervisor and completed a post graduate certificate in Supervision with an Intersectional Lens at TA East Counselling and Psychotherapy Training Institute in December 2024 .
I create a warm, non-judgemental honest relationship in which you can feel comfortable sharing your successes and mistakes.
I work integratively drawing on Humanistic, Psychodynamic, Cognitive-Behavioural, Body-oriented and Integrative psychotherapies. I am interested in balance, connection and openness and how to facilitate them.
I supervise with focus on how power, social context, threat to the environment and relational identity impact your work. Supervision, with focus on intersectionality, attempts to give words to the ways that aspects of individual identity such as race, class, gender, disability and sexuality; and the social context, affect how power and oppression operate in the experience of the client and the relationship between client, therapist and supervisor.
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.
