Supervision details
At the heart of my supervision practice is my desire to offer you space to honour the work we do, and to explore whatever you need to develop your practice and support you as a practitioner. That might be examining elements of client work, exploring what themes are arising for you, ethical decision making as well as looking at your personal and/or practice development and meeting your professional needs.
I’m a person centred therapist but welcome working with others from different therapeutic perspectives, bringing gentle challenges and an opportunity to explore whatever way that you work. I aim to provide a space which is collaborative, inquistitive, reflective and restorative
The experience that I bring with me is varied, including private practice, third sector and charity work. I’ve also many years experience of being self employed, both in private work and in my previous career and am happy to provide support in marketing and developing your private practice whether thats from the initial stages of setting up or to revitalise an existing business.
My passion is for taking therapy outside and I’ve worked with clients outdoors for a number of years, offering outdoor therapy / ecotherapy / walk and talk as well as offering training in outdoor therapy. I've thousands of hours of outdoor practice and love working with practitioners at whatever stage of practice they might be.
I’m based in Shropshire and have access to a private woodland space for supervision. Alternatively we can work online, using various platforms or meet in rooms in either Shrewsbury or Telford.
As well as traditional monthly or fortnightly sessions I’m happy to work on a more infrequent basis or even ad-hoc or one-off sessions. For example if you’re looking to examine elements around outdoor therapy or need a session whilst your regular supervisor is away just get in touch.
Sessions are from £70 an hour.
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.
