Supervision details
It can be tricky to find the right supervisor. What are you looking for? Of course, I can offer you experience, knowledge and compassion; but what is going to make me the best match for you? Acceptance, integrity and empathy? Challenge, rigour and accountability? Humour, flexibility and theoretical depth? If so, give me a try. Our first meeting (which is free) will be a chance to get to know each other and find out if we will 'click'.
I am an Accredited COSCA Member, hold a COSCA Diploma in Counselling Supervision, have more than 10 years' experience in my own Humanistic practice, and have a BSc in Psychology. While the Humanistic approach is still the foundation of my practice, as I have developed, I have integrated elements of other modalities into the way I work.
I have also taught and nurtured trainee counsellors through qualification and beyond; this means my theoretical knowledge stretches to many areas and modalities and I know what it takes to support counsellors and therapists at all stages of their career.
I am also qualified to work with Children and Young People so am well placed to supervise counsellors who work in this age range.
COSCA is the professional body for counselling and psychotherapy in Scotland, and seeks to advance all forms of counselling and psychotherapy and the use of counselling skills by promoting best practice and through the delivery of a range of sustainable services. COSCA Counsellor Accreditation is a pathway to entry onto the UKRC. It is a requirement of all individual and organisational members of COSCA to abide by its Statement of Ethics and Code of Practice and be accountable to the Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
