Supervision details

I am friendly, approachable and work relationally and from a person centred core  with the goal of offering you a space where you can explore your client work, self care and all aspects of supervision in safety and confidence. I will work collaboratively with you to ensure high standards in client work, support ethical practice and your own personal development goals whether you are in training or qualified, work for an agency or are in private practice. 

 I often use mindfulness, nature based creative interventions in my client work and these can be incorporated into supervision. Your preferences will be discussed in the sessions. I have experience of working with students and colleagues from differing therapeutic approaches including ; Person centred, Integrative and Psychodynamic. 

In my client work I  have experience of working with anxiety, depression, low self esteem, grief, low mood, sadness, stress and relationship issues. I have a particular interest in bereavement and loss. I now run a small private practice near St. Neots in Cambridgeshire. I have been Counselling since 2015 and in private practice for 8 years. I previously worked as secondary school counsellor supporting pupils and staff and volunteered for a national bereavement charity. Prior to counselling I worked for many years in social care and education where I have had experience working with children, young people and adults in both individual and group settings.

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and  A professionally accredited member of National counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and abide by their Ethical Frameworks for good practice. I attend monthly clinical supervision and regularly up date my therapeutic knowledge and skills through a programme of continuous professional development.

I work Monday to Thursday  daytime and evening 8am - 8.15pm (last appointment). Please feel free to contact me for a friendly chat and to ask any questions. Tel 07793975142 or email info@melaniequinceycounselling.com. I offer a free 30 minute intro session where you can meet me before booking. 

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 info
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.
