Supervision details
I am an integrative/person-centred counsellor and supervisor with over 25 years experience in counselling & psychology and have worked in the UK and NZ. I work with adults and young people and have 12 years of experience working in a secondary school. I am also a former counselling tutor.
My specialities are disordered eating and a variety of self image issues. I am trauma informed and often work with clients who are neurodivergent. I also have experience working in many other areas - including anxiety, depression, attachment, relationship difficulties, lack of confidence, loss, bereavement and stress.
I very much believe that the relationship is key in both counselling and supervision and I seek to provide a safe and supportive environment that allows and encourages your growth as a practitioner. I see supervision as being collaborative and as an integrative practitioner I seek to work in whatever way is best for you and most appropriate to your practice and level of experience/training.
I am passionate about supporting others at all stages of their journeys. I enjoy working with newly qualified counsellors and students on placements. I see supervision as our support system as we walk alongside our clients. Its our chance to be heard, and not feel alone when things get tricky. Although the nature of our work is that we often work alone - supportive and collaborative supervision means you don't have to feel alone.
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.
