Supervision details
Working together I offer a safe space to help you reflect on your work with clients, including work with children and young people. 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. In supervision we explore your client work together to help us understand your clients better and improve your work with them. This includes exploring any issues arising from sessions, celebrating progress and success, discussing any difficulties, blindspots or ethical dilemmas, increasing your self-awareness and resilience, and thinking about ways to facilitate positive changes in your clients and improve their wellbeing. I provide purposeful supervision to counsellors, teachers and those in helping professions. My relational, integrative and creative approach to supervision enables flexibility in my thinking, helping me adapt to your individual learning style and therapeutic orientation. I have the fullest commitment to offering a service which is welcoming to all backgrounds in a supportive and non-discriminatory manner. 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. I am a qualified counsellor, clinical supervisor (f2f and online) and teacher with substantial experience supporting the emotional well-being of children, young people and their families in educational settings. My qualifications, include: Online Counselling Supervision Diploma, Post Graduate Certificate (Level 7) in Clinical Supervision, BACP Accreditation, Master of Arts in Counselling and Psychotherapy (Level 7), Online Counselling Audio and Webcam, Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling Children in Schools, Tavistock clinic certificate of Emotional Factors in Learning and TeachingDiploma of Teaching Fees £55 per 60 minute session £75 for 90 minute session
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.
