Supervision details
My belief is that the supervisory relationship is paramount in helping counsellors to become more aware, confident and knowledgeable in their work with clients. I aim to provide a safe, supportive space for you to develop your clinical practice through insight and reflection. Working with the individual aims and experience of each supervisee enables me to provide a tailored approach. My own counselling base is integrative, incorporating person-centred, transactional analysis, CBT, solution-focused and psycho-educational modalities. My experience includes working with children, young people and adults across many sectors, developing and managing counselling services and private practice. I provide supervision sessions to counsellors working with young people or adults across all sectors. I have a comprehensive understanding of the BACP code of Ethics and Good Practice, which is at the core of my supervision work, and primarily use the Seven Eyed Model for Supervision (Hawkins & Shohet). Supervision sessions are also available to school, college and safeguarding staff to provide professional and personal support for your work.

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.
