Supervision details
Supervision is an important space in any professionals practice where we are allowed to grow and be challenged, offload confidentially and be heard in a supportive environment. I work with counsellors, both experienced therapists and students in placements as part of their training. I am also able to offer regular supervision to clinicians, staff and managers in all areas of social care. I work in 1:1 or group settings and offer a consultant service to companies or organisations from a wider range of contexts wishing to look at supporting staff and promoting best practice and a nurturing environment. I believe strongly that supervision should be about a free space where we are balancing support for practitioners with good challenges to help us to build our professional skills. As supervisor and supervisee, we collaborate to enable us to create a space in which reflection on our work and learning from those reflections can take place easily. My objective is to help you to develop your skills and offer the best parts of yourself in your practice with your clients. I offer my work from a place where it is acknowledged that supervision is a process in its own right and is not linked to any particular way of working in therapy or practice. I consider my role to be as a facilitator of the process, supporter of your own learning which is building on the basis of a sound supervisory relationship between us.
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.
