Supervision details

Supervision with me is about exploring your client work, providing a space for ethical decision making as well as supporting your practice, looking at your development and meeting your professional needs.

The foundation of my supervision practice is simple – I’m going to offer you space to honour you, your clients and your work. The work we do as practitioners is hard, and supervision is a place to explore that. Beyond that of course is a lot more, I will offer a space which is..

• Collaborative

• Reflective

• Expressive

• Restorative

• Inquisitive

I’m an experienced person centred therapist but welcome working with others from different therapeutic perspectives and modalities, as well as those outside the counselling profession.

The experience that I bring with me is varied – including private practice, third sector and charity work. I’ve also many years of experience of being self employed, both in private work and in my previous career.

In particular I’ve worked with clients outside for a number of years, offering outdoor therapy / ecotherapy / walk and talk and am passionate about this area of practice. Drop me a message if you'd like to know about the training and CPD workshops I run on outdoor counselling and nature connection within a counselling relationship.

I've also a growing interest in supporting counsellors working with eco-anxiety, climate grief as they support clients - and themselves - through the ecological crisis we face.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

Key details

DBS check info

In England and Wales, the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS, formerly known as CRB) carry out criminal records checks for individuals working with vulnerable groups, such as children. To find out more, visit gov.uk , or contact this professional directly

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

If you've questions about accessibility please do get in touch! I have various spots to work from, including those with paths suitable for wheelchairs / mobility aids and would like to help remove any barriers to accessing outdoor therapy where possible
