Supervision details
I offer clinical supervision to both qualified counsellors and counsellors in training, providing a supportive, collaborative, and professionally enriching space for your development.
As a Person-Centred Therapist with over 12 years of experience, I have worked across a range of counselling services in Bolton, including roles as a coordinator, mentor, and supervisor for student counsellors at various stages of their training and placement journey. As Clinical Lead at 1Point Bolton, I also have extensive knowledge of the expectations and requirements of working within NHS/IAPT-informed therapeutic services.
I believe supervision should be more than a professional requirement - it should be a space where you feel valued, supported, and empowered to grow. My aim is to help you develop confidence in your own therapeutic approach while honouring your unique style and individuality as a practitioner. I offer a safe, non-judgemental environment where you can openly reflect on both the rewards and challenges of your clinical work.
My supervision approach is collaborative and reflective, drawing on the Hawkes and Shohet Seven-Eyed Model of Supervision. This framework enables us to explore all aspects of the therapeutic process, including:
The client and their presenting issues
The interventions and therapeutic work undertaken
The client–therapist relationship
Your own thoughts, feelings, and responses as the therapist
The supervisory relationship
The supervisor's reflections and observations
The wider organisational and professional context
Finding the right supervisor is an important part of your growth, confidence, and effectiveness as a therapist. To help you decide whether we're a good fit, I offer a free 20-minute online consultation. This gives us the opportunity to get to know one another, discuss your supervision needs, and explore how we might work together.
Whether you're a student counsellor looking for guidance during your training or an experienced practitioner seeking a supportive supervisory relationship, I welcome the opportunity to work alongside you.
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.
