Supervision details
Supervision provides you the supervisee with a reflective space to explore your work and supports your sustainability and resilience whilst you are supporting your clients. It gives you an opportunity to grow and develop your practice, whilst providing a framework to check you are working to the best of your ability to keep your clients safe and adhering to professional and ethical guidelines. I have been working as a Supervisor of counsellors since April 2016 when I started at the Leicester Women’s Counselling Centre. Over the last two years I have worked privately and as a Supervisor of trainee counsellors on the Foundation Degree in Integrative Counselling at the University of Leicester. I offer supervision to counsellors and I work with other professions for whom supervision is an essential part of their work. I am also able to offer group supervision. If you are not sure if I’m the right supervisor for you let’s have a single session and you can go away and think about it after. No pressure. Fee’s: My supervision charge is £50 for an hour or £75 for a one and a half hour session. I am happy to conduct supervision via face to face, skype or by telephone. If you are working as a volunteer counsellor and you ask, I do offer a small discount. Testimonial – ‘Michelle adopts a flexible integrative approach to supervision always maintaining high standards and working in an ethical, boundaried and professional manner, I have found her knowledgeable and insightful which has helped me to consider alternative hypothesis, approaches and viewpoints with regard to my clients and this has benefited my practice enormously ‘ – MG
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.
