Supervision details

My approach

I aim to develop a collaborative working relationship with you, so you feel safe enough to openly explore any thoughts, feelings and experiences about your work, without judgement.  My relational, integrative and creative approach to supervision enables flexibility in my thinking, helping me adapt to your individual learning style and therapeutic orientation. 

How I work

We explore your client work together to help us understand your clients better and improve your work with them.  We explore any issues arising from sessions, celebrate progress and success, discuss any difficulties, blindspots or ethical dilemmas.  This increases your self-awareness and resilience, and thinking about ways to facilitate positive changes in your clients and improve their wellbeing.    

Main principles underpinning my practice

My integrative approach to counselling underpins my supervisory practice. This includes person centred values, alongside relational and systemic thinking.  I work within the guidelines of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) ethical framework and negotiate a working contract before embarking on our journey together.

  • Post Graduate Certificate (Level 7) in Clinical Supervision

  • BACP Accreditation, Master of Arts in Counselling and Psychotherapy (Level 7)

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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
