Supervision details
Hi I’m Sharon.
Are you looking for a new supervisor?
Supervision is an essential part of our work as practitioners, and finding the right person to work with is key.
As a supervisor, I have a relational, creative and integrative approach to supervision, integrating the seven-eyed model of supervision, and blending this with intercultural and anti-oppressive supervisory approaches. I find that this helps us to consider our clients' contexts and all the various factors that have an impact on our clients and enhances our practice so that we can work more inclusively, safely and effectively as possible. I think we do justice with our clients when we consider their cultural contexts and all aspects of their intersectional identities that might be impacted by the world around them.
Trust and respect in a supportive environment are key ingredients for our growth as counsellors and I aim to work with you to develop and sustain this from the moment we start working together and to support you to be your best self in your work with your clients.
Am I perfect? Definitely not! Am I passionate? Definitely Yes! I am passionate about helping our clients to shed the shackles that might bind them, and passionate about continuing to enrich our learning and practice as counsellors and practitioners.
In my counselling career my supervisors have been supportive, caring and empathic but also challenging - appropriately challenging me to be the very best that I can be. For me this approach has greatly facilitated my growth and development as a counsellor and I also offer this as a supervisor to all I work with, in the hope that this can be the same for you.
Bring your whole self to supervision so that we can grow and flourish together on the journey towards continually becoming our best selves both for our clients, and for ourselves.
I offer both clinical supervision for counsellors and therapists and professional reflective supervision for school leaders and staff who work in educational settings, as I have experience of working with schools to help them develop whole school approaches to mental health, including facilitating reflective practice spaces to enhance staff wellbeing and development.
Contact me for an initial chat. Look forward to hearing from you!
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.
