Supervision details
I gained my diploma in supervision in 2015 and I have been providing individual and group supervision since that date. My supervision model of choice is the cyclical model of supervision which provides structure within the session whilst also allowing the supervisee the space to consider hypotheses, link theory to practice, consider ethical and good practice issues and to process the impact of client material in a safe setting. I use traditional talking methods alongside more creative approaches such as sandtray, objects, cards and stories to encourage counsellors to view their clients, themselves and their practice from a variety of perspectives and by exploring a wide range of techniques and interventions. I have specialised in providing supervision to counsellors working with survivors of domestic and sexual abuse/violence and working with children and young people.
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.
