Supervision details
As a supervisor I work with supervisees in ways that develop and expand their working edge of self-awareness around transference, counter-transference, ethical dilemmas, safeguarding, theoretical knowledge, professional boundaries and legal issues and that may arise when working with clients.
I act as a resource to supervisees by sharing my counselling skills, theoretical knowledge, CPD and experience of working in organisations with different cultures and practices.
I will challenge poor practice to give the supervisee the opportunity to expand their skills and increase the safety of their practice.
My approach in supervision is integrative and includes interventions from Person Centred Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, CBT, Transactional Analysis and Solution Focused Brief Therapy.
I have extensive experience of counselling young people and adults across the Voluntary Sector, NHS, Education, EAP and in private practice.
My supervision practice has welcomed practitioners and trainees from a variety of working environments, counselling approaches and professional bodies.
During my time as a clinical supervisor I have had the opportunity to successfully support supervisees through their journey to professional body accreditation.

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.
