Supervision details
I offer compassion focussed supervision looking at all areas of your work (based on the seven eyed model of supervision) to empower you to be the best counsellor and you that you can be. Supervision is there for you to explore how you work, how the work/client affects you and how you affect the work/client, my aim is to help you explore all of this in a safe space, with no judgment and gentle challenges.
I have been a qualified counsellor since 2018, initially training in person centred counselling but have since added to my 'tool box' with things such as EMDR, CBT, NLP, Compassion Focussed Therapy and EFT (tapping) so now describe myself as working more in an integrative way. I currently work in my own private practice but have in the past worked for a company offering EAP type counselling along with specialist bereavement counselling - particularly for those bereaved by suicide. I have extensive experience working with anxiety, low self-esteem and bereavement and in the past have worked as a nurse, midwife and in a women's centre.
Supervision, like counselling itself, is a relational experience, it is so important to find a supervisor who you feel fits with you and your way of working, who can challenge you in the way you want to be challenged and help you explore you and your work in the way that fits for you so why not send me a message, ask me questions and even have an initial session to see if I am the right fit.

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.

The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
