Supervision details
I am a qualified counsellor with over 6 years experience who is now training as a supervisor. Within my own therapy practice I have a client centred base but work in an eclectic way to best suit the needs of my clients. I use the same approach with supervisees using creative methods as and when required.
I prefer to work in a collaborative way with my supervisees, not as an expert, but as another perspective on the dilemmas my supervisees face with my own experience and understandings. It is helpful to know what type of relationship my supervisees are looking for in sessions and what support I can provide to benefit their development.
I see supervision not only as exploration of the supervisee’s client work, but also their working life in general and how their work might be affected by events outside of the counselling room. I will also pay attention to my supervisee’s wellbeing. I recognise that although not therapy, the supervisee and supervisor cannot help but bring themselves into the supervisory relationship and the supervisee is bound to be affected by events outside of the therapy space.
I can work face-to-face from my therapy room in Newton Aycliffe, County Durham or online.
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.
