Supervision details
As a Neurodivergent Specialist I decided to become a Supervisor to empower other therapists or trainee therapists with neurodiversity, to manage their practices or training. I am passionate about helping you navigate the pluralistic counselling world and our complex world and assist you in the day-to-day challenges you experience in your practice if you have ADHD or Autism. Alternatively, you may have a number of neurodivergent clients. Either way, it is good to have someone who has your back.
I am passionate about seeing you grow as a therapist, by supporting you in your relationship with your clients, which is where I see the majority of attention in supervision. As well as helping you understand any transference or challenges you are facing in the room.
As a neurodivergent therapist, it is particularly important to protect your energy through clear boundaries and I will help you apply these in your practice.
Fundamentally, I believe "Supervision should be a place to come and breathe” - Robin Schoet. Not somewhere where you feel rejected or judged, which are often some of the challenges we face when we have ADHD or Autism. Sadly, something I have experienced in the past.
So, I want you to feel you can come and discuss your all your fears openly and honestly, in a safe, non-judgemental space. A place where you leave feeling lighter and empowered to take risks, through reflection and discussing different interventions, to gain a fresh perspective.
My training is mapped to the competences set by ACTO, the BACP and the NCS. The NCS have awarded the course Quality Checked status.
This course acknowledges the phenomena raised in blended counselling and allows me to engage with supervision that parallels the type of therapy offered; eg, telephone, email, online or in person. When you are counselling online, there are psychological processes you need to be aware of, as well as a number of legal, ethical and practical considerations.
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.
