Supervision details

Supervision £50 an hour   Relational supervision: This approach puts you, your subjective experience and the relationship between you and your client at the heart of the supervision.  I like this explanation: ''Supervision is the forum where supervisees are supported and facilitated in sitting at the feet of their own experience and allowing their experience to become their teacher." As a supervisor my aim is to help you to become confident as you develop your own counselling practice, i will be supportive to help strengthen your sense of competence, I will facilitate your learning and encourage the development of your own inner supervisor, rather than telling you how I would do it I will help you explore how you do it.  I will also work collaboratively with you to explore any ethical issues that arise in your client work. Fees:  £50 an hour  I am supervised for this by a qualified, experienced supervisor. I have a postgraduate diploma in relational supervision. I am qualified to postgraduate diploma level in integrative psychotherapy and degree level in integrative therapeutic counselling. I consider myself a relational/humanistic therapist and I have training in person centred, psychodynamic, gestalt, CBT, EMDR and existential therapy, mental health issues and risk assessment. I have experience of short and long term work in these settings: IAPT - volunteer counsellor MS society - counsellor (working independently with external supervision) Cruse bereavement - bereavement volunteer Listening Post - volunteer counsellor Private Practice - working from home. I work from home about a mile from Cheltenham town centre. There is free on road parking outside the house.  Please text/phone me on: 07535 902733 or email ckingcounselling@gmail.com I hope to hear from you.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

The premises is wheelchair accessible - as long as the wheelchair isn't too big - it is quite a tight turn into the counselling room.
