Supervision details
I trained as a Supervisor with ReVision - Centre for Integrative Psychosynthesis, and qualified in 2006. I love this way of working with supervisees as it allows their creativity to surface plus intuition and heightened insight into their client's issues. I enjoy encouraging supervisees to become the counsellor that they want to be as an individual, incorporating all their learnings. I offer a safe and accepting way of working, encouraging supervisees to explore the part that they play in the therapeutic relationship, without judgement or criticism, which in turn, helps them to model this with their clients. In this professional relationship, we will explore and reflect on different aspects of the counselling relationship, and influences outside the session which might impact your work. I have strong clinical and ethical boundaries, and what you share with me about your clients is confidential. I do discuss my work with my supervisor, however, both you and your clients remain anonymous. My intention is to support you professionally as you develop your practice, and to ensure that you continue to work effectively and ethically. I am happy to negotiate a favourable fee for those who are just starting out in practice, which we can review as your client load increases. I am entirely committed to my work and would love to share my knowledge and experience in helping you to develop and deepen your work as a therapist.
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.
