Supervision details
I hold a diploma in supervision and have significant counselling experience working with children, young people and adults in a wide variety of settings including schools, university, counselling organisations and private practice.
In supervision, my aim is to offer a safe space for exploration, understanding and reflecting on practice, building a supportive working relationship to facilitate this. My modality is based in pluralism, and as such I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches.
Sessions can be in person, or online via Zoom, and my availability is generally Mondays and Wednesdays. I’m happy to offer a free 30-minute initial meeting, so that we can discuss requirements and see if we would be a good fit to work together.
Fees are:
£50 p/hr for qualified counsellors
£45 p/hr for trainee counsellors on placement
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.
