Supervision details
I am a qualified supervisor offering individual and group clinical supervision to psychotherapists and counsellors as well as other practitioners in trauma-related fields. I also work with student counsellors. I agree with Tony Merry’s (2002) understanding of supervision as a process of ‘collaborative enquiry’ in which we ‘collaborate and cooperate in an effort to understand what is going on within the counselling relationship and within the counsellor. This moves away from “doing things right or wrong” … to “how the counsellor is being, and how is that way of being contributing to the development of a counselling relationship?”’ I endeavour to offer you openness and respect with the aim of building a relationship with you based on mutuality, trust and understanding, and which is developmental, supportive and deeply satisfying. My fee for clinical supervision is £60 for 1 hour and £90 for 90 minutes, or £45/£75 for students.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
