Supervision details

 If you are looking for supervision where you will feel supported  and safe enough to be honest and open, about both challenges and accomplishments in your client work, then I could be the right supervisor for you.

Alongside ensuring that your work is ethical, I view supervision as a collaborative approach where we can discuss and explore your work with clients in order to enhance your work. This may include exploring transference and countertransference, linking theory to practice and navigating ethical dilemmas. I have a particular interest in working with newly qualified counsellors and those setting up in private practice.

I use the Seven eyed model of supervision, which focuses not only on the interventions that you use but also will provide you with an opportunity to really examine the relationship that you have with your client. Through the use of this model I will support you in becoming a reflective autonomous counsellor and encourage you to develop your own internal supervisor. 

I am an accredited member of the BACP, and work both in private practice and for a counselling organisation commissioned by the ICB. I qualified as a Person Centred counsellor in 2017, and completed Level 5 CBT shortly after. Post qualification training has contributed to my modality being  eclectic, with the person centred approach at it's core. 

I currently work with adults and young people, and have previously worked with children. 

I offer supervision sessions for both qualified and student counsellors, available online or in person.

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.
