Supervision details
I offer one-to-one and group supervision, in person or via zoom. I am a Humanistic practitioner in my own therapeutic practice (person-centred, existential and embodied), and as such this is the modality I am best placed to supervise. Having taught counselling up to qualification level for 3 years I am experienced in supervising trainees. I work solidly within the BACP Ethical Framework and value the personal moral qualities therein of resilience, courage and care - meaning you can expect to be supported and developed in every aspect of your work. My supervision practice: Since the Covid-19 pandemic, I have become particularly interested in care of the practitioner, and this deeply informs my supervisory work. While the focus is ultimately always on the client, I am passionate about ensuring you, the counsellor, are safe, effective and fulfilled in your work. In our sessions we will take time to explore your responses to your clients, what you and your clients most need and how your therapeutic relationship is. I offer a challenging, but well-held space and believe that trust is fundamental to the success of a supervisory relationship. I am able to offer a relational focus to your work, as well as helping you link theory to practice.
I am proud to support the LGBTQ+ community as an ally.
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.
