Supervision details
I offer clinical supervision to trainees, counsellors and psychotherapists, including both qualified practitioners and therapists in training. Sessions are available online and can be arranged for 50, 60 or 90 minutes, depending on your professional requirements and individual needs. Supervision can take place weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
My supervisory approach is primarily psychodynamic and relational, although I welcome practitioners working from a range of therapeutic modalities. I offer a thoughtful, supportive and collaborative space in which we can explore your clinical work, including the therapeutic relationship, unconscious processes, transference and countertransference, boundaries, ethical dilemmas and the emotional impact of the work on the therapist.
I see supervision as more than discussing what happened in a session or finding the "right" intervention. It is an opportunity to think together about what may be happening within the client, within the therapist and within the therapeutic relationship, including experiences that may be difficult to recognise or put into words.
My aim is to support you in developing confidence in your own clinical thinking and therapeutic identity, while maintaining curiosity about your clients and your responses to the work. I value a supervisory relationship in which uncertainty can be thought about openly and where both challenges and difficulties can be explored without judgement.
Alongside supporting safe and ethical practice, I view supervision as an ongoing space for reflection, learning and professional development, adapted to your level of experience, therapeutic orientation and individual needs.
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.
