Supervision details
I offer integrative and person-centred supervision using the Hawkins and Shohet model. I have experience supervising students and qualified counsellors from person centred and integrative modalities and who work with adults, children and young people.
The central mode of supervision is the relational feature and this facilitates a supportive function for you. My supervisory space is a co-reflective space for you to consider your therapeutic approach, self, reflexivity and associated processes in relation to the ethical framework, theory, policies and legislation, plus in relation to varied other aspects, The space considers educative, supportive and managerial angles, too, in relation to your caseload and you to ensure that your work replenishes self and considers the ethics, moral and theoretical angles within the work undertaken.
I have provided supervision for supervisees- across a variety of organisations- private and charity sector (Mind, YCT, SV2, Rainbow Trust, Visyon and others) working person centred, integrative and using CBT approaches in adherence with their organisational areas and considering the ethical, legal, practical and moral, decisions in practice and ethical dilemmas in relation to practice to ensure standards are upheld and that you, the supervisee, may feel supported.
Equally, supervisees have continued to grow and develop in their CPD and personal development, and we seek to co-consider sector aspects and requirements and adhere to relevant sector elements. Also, supervisees have been successfully supported with their accreditation completion for BACP and I have provided support for counselling trainees on a range of integrative, and person centred courses : Level 4/Level 5, Undergraduate and PG Cert/Dip, MA/MSC and Doctoral Counselling areas within FE and HE- across a range of awarding bodies, writing reports and ensuring adherence to their specifications and sector requirements, written reports and liaised with organisations to support the student on their counselling journey within their 4 way partnership.
In the supervisory space, we work collaboratively to co-reflect on your practice using educative, managerial and supportive lenses on you, your practice and relational components. We will co-reflect on your caseload, self and the personal, interpersonal and intra-personal occurrences that impact on practice or are being experienced using the integrative frame.
Equally, we ensure adherence to the BACP ethical framework and ethical dilemma elements, personal and professional reflections and in-action and on-action reflective considerations.
For trainees, there will be an assessment of competence occurring in line with the organisational and sector requirements, plus support as you commence and complete the holistic trainee counselling trajectory and ensure your personal and professional holistic development.
Supervision is a central aspect of the process and being collaborative in this pursuit and immersed in on-going CPD and personal development, is central to how I operate-to ensure client and supervisee centrality, sector standards and the managerial areas.
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.
