Supervision details
As a supervisor, I offer a unique and transformative space that goes beyond traditional models. My approach is rooted in three core principles: creativity, embodiment, and transpersonal exploration.
Creativity: I encourage supervisees to tap into their intuitive and imaginative resources. We explore metaphors, imagery, and creative expression to unlock hidden insights and facilitate fresh perspectives on client work. This approach allows for a more holistic understanding of the therapeutic process, moving beyond rigid frameworks.
Embodiment: I believe that the body holds valuable wisdom. Through embodied practices, such as movement, breathwork, and sensory awareness, we access non-verbal communication and somatic experiences. This allows supervisees to deepen their understanding of their own and their clients' embodied responses, fostering a more integrated and authentic therapeutic presence.
Transpersonal Exploration: I invite supervisees to explore the deeper dimensions of their work, including spiritual, existential, and archetypal themes. We consider the client's and the supervisee's relationship to meaning, purpose, and connection. This approach opens up possibilities for profound insights and transformative growth.
By integrating these modalities, we bypass the limitations of the purely logical mind, creating space for intuitive leaps and profound discoveries. I prioritise a collaborative and supportive environment where supervisees feel safe to explore their vulnerabilities and embrace their unique therapeutic style.
My aim is to empower you to become a more confident, insightful, and authentic practitioner, capable of facilitating deep healing for your clients.
I am currently training and offer low-cost supervision.
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.
