Supervision details
I am a counsellor rooted in the person centered tradition, but since training, this has expanded to embrace ideas from gestalt and existential therapies, trauma informed modalities as well as energy psychology and spiritual ideas. I have experience of working with young people in school and in private practice. I have worked for EAP providers, voluntary organsisations and in private practice. My underpinning theory for supervision is Shohet’s 7 eyed model. believe in and am committed to supervision as a restorative and growthful process. My hope is for practitioners to find a safe enough place within supervision with me, that they are able to bring the difficult things, reflect and embrace challenge. AS practitioners, our greatest asset is our self, so it is my aim to pay attention to you as a practitioner, to what you might need in sessions so that in turn, you are most fully resourced to engage with your clients to your greatest potential. I offer a discounted rate for students
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.
