Supervision details
I have completed integrative supervision training at the Minster Centre, where my approach is deeply influenced by the Seven-Eyed Model of Supervision. This model supports a multifaceted approach to supervision, working on different levels to help you grow in your practice. I am a UKCP accredited supervisor.
I offer individual and group supervision, and work with students in training, practitioners at the beginning of their practice and experienced practitioners. Supervision sessions can take place weekly, fortnightly and monthly. Individual sessions are 50 minutes long, group sessions (2-4 people) are 90 to 120 Minutes.
In my practice I work in an integrative relational way with an intersectional outlook. This means that whilst keeping the client and their wider context in mind I also attend to our supervisory relationship and how dynamics between us may give us further insights on the work with clients. Over the course of my work as a therapist I have come to greatly appreciate the supervisor-therapist relationship.
My aim as a supervisor is to offer a non judgemental trustworthy space where therapists can bring all aspects of their work in their practice. If you are a counsellor/ psychotherapist working in private practice or a trainee on a clinical placement I can support you with managing risks and crisis, safeguarding, attention to transference and countertransference, attention to the ethical principles and dilemmas, bounderies. We will be exploring the wider contexts that interconnect the clinical and supervisory relationship. My supervision practice supports and encourages me to work across different modalities and therapeutic approaches. Therefore I welcome supervisees from different modalities to my own.
I welcome active explorations around issues of intersectionality, such as gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, class, age, religion, physical D/disability and neuro-divergence.
Since 2021 I have been part of a committee that discusses and explores all aspect of visible/non visible disabilities. I am a tutor at the Minster centre teaching first year counselling ‘Physical disability and ableism in Psychotherapy’ and I teach the Disability weekend Advanced Clinical Practice (MA) at Minster Centre, London.
In my practice as a supervisor I offer reflective practice for allied professionals, such as tranformational couches, occupational therapists, nurses, teachers, personal assistants, doctors and so on.
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.
