Supervision details
I have over 12 years’ experience as a relational and embodied Integrative Psychotherapist (with an Msc in Integrative Psychotherapy from the Metanoia Institute). I am also a trauma-informed therapist. I am fully trained in EMDR and incorporate somatic approaches into my work.
My supervision training and way of working as a supervisor is based on the ‘Seven-eyed Model’ of supervision (developed by Peter Hawkins and Robin Shohet). The model considers the supervision relationship from different viewpoints, including; reflecting on the client, the supervisee's interventions, the relationship between the client and the supervisee and the wider systemic context.
I see supervision as a joint and collaborative engagement. I offer a containing and reflective space in which all matters relating to your work and development as a therapist can be explored. I offer support, encouragement and respectful challenge so you can enhance your practice, maintain ethical standards, feel supported yourself and importantly enjoy your work.
My focus in supervision is on the relationship and process both in the supervisory and therapeutic relationships. A consistent thread is bringing awareness to parallel process, the manner by which unconscious dynamics between the therapist and the client are enacted in the relationship between the supervisor and the supervisee. Words are often not enough so I include embodied, and imaginative approaches to help bring the client to life in the room between us.
I offer in person and online supervision to individual counsellors and therapists at all stages of their career, with a standard rate of £80 per hour and a reduced rate of £70 per hour for therapists whilst they are in training.
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.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
