Supervision details
HumanKind can offer 121 or group supervision for counsellors, therapists, care professionals and mental health workers. Jenny Thompson is a UKCP registered supervisor with twenty years experience supervising counsellors, psychotherapists, mental health professionals as well as other practitioners in the caring professions and the voluntary sector. In supervision, Jenny’s intention is to co-create a safe space for practitioners to find what they need to support them in working as effectively as possible. She believes that supervision has a normative, formative and restorative function (Inskipp and Proctor, 1995) and as such can be reflective, creative and fun. She is particularly interested in exploring therapist/client process and encouraging presence Where: Swansea, Ferryside or skype, Fees: £50.00 per hour; some concessionary places available Contact: 07970 471790,jennythompsonpsychotherapy@gmail.com
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.
