Supervision details
I am an experienced and qualified therapist and trainer. I am completing a Diploma in Relational Integrative Clinical Supervision at TACT.
I practice from a relationally based perspective and use the supervisory relationship to enable practitioners to process their work, deal with emotional and ethical dilemmas that arise, and use their own process to understand their clients better.
Our professional development as therapists is best supported by relationships in which difficulties can be explored, challenges made, and good practice confirmed.
As part of my training I need to log 30 hours of experience. This work is overseen and monitored by my own supervisor and the training provider.
Sessions are £30 per hour - £45 for 1.5hr session. If you would like more information about how I can support you in your practice at a low cost, then please do get in touch.
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.
