Supervision details

Clinical Supervision
I hold a Level 6 Diploma in Art Psychotherapy Clinical Supervision (CPCAB, 2020) aligned with BAAT standards. The training strengthened my ability to work across different supervisory modalities and to adapt supervision to the needs of qualified professionals, trainees, and mixed-discipline teams.

The course covered key areas including:

Organisational dynamics


Evaluation of supervision


Ethical practice and boundaries


Confidentiality and GDPR


I’ve supervised a wide range of professionals, including clinical psychologists, NHS ward managers, art therapists, counsellors, and trainees.


 
Experience

I recently retired as Lead Art Therapist within an NHS Trust. I have broad experience across statutory and voluntary sectors, including:

Adult mental health


Learning disabilities


Ex-offenders


Pupil referral units (PRUs)


Charitable counselling services and clinical leadership


I also provided clinical supervision for a counselling charity, supervising a mixed group of counsellors and trainees, and I was part of the charity’s clinical management team. I have supervised University of South Wales art therapy trainees on NHS placements.

During the pandemic, online work became second nature; I regularly attend CPD and training delivered in this format.

HCPC
Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC)

The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.

They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.

Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
