Supervision details
I'm an experienced individual and group supervisor, holding a UKCP-accredited Diploma in Supervision. I provide supervision to trainee and qualified counsellors and therapists at a rate of £80 per hour.
The Diploma, entitled 'Supervision with Soul,' is awarded by Re-Vision, which is accredited by both the BACP and the UKCP. Re-Vision is a counselling and psychotherapy training centre with a transpersonal and integrative perspective. Its core values are care, integrity and meaning. To bring these values into the essential relationship between myself and my supervisees is at the heart of my supervision practice, as it is in my work as a therapist.
The Diploma covered areas such as how to build a transparent and respectful basis for the supervisory relationship; synchronicity and parallel process; field theory; cross-cultural dynamics and working with difference and diversity; how to to use power and authority wisely in supervision; bringing an understanding of ethical principles to the practice of supervision; and how to find the creative edge in supervision. I see supervision as a reflective arena in which to explore the meta-level of client work as well as its minutia, and the interaction between these two. It’s an expanse where powerful feelings or events that may belong with the therapist, with the client, or in the co-created space, can be expressed and debriefed.
In supervision, a unique and mutual learning relationship can develop, providing an opportunity for professional and personal growth. It safeguards client and therapist wellbeing and enhances the effectiveness of therapeutic practice. Both psychotherapy and supervision enable people to grow and evolve. As an Integrative therapist, I'm trained in a range of modalities, and so I'm able to work with supervisees from a range of orientations. I'm informed by humanistic, psychodynamic, existential, cognitive-behavioural, systemic and transpersonal theories. I believe these different models simply offer different lenses to view the core therapeutic encounter through. For me, embodied experience is a key resource, as access to feeling and transformation come through the body, and not outside or above it. This resource finds its expression relationally and creatively, through breath, sound, movement, words, images, art, archetype and intuition. I hope to offer supervision that honours the life of the soul. An initial phone call may be helpful in the first instance. No obligation is attached to a call or a meeting. It's a chance to see if we're suited to work together.

The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
