Supervision details
Supervision is a joint endeavour in which a practitioner, with the help of a supervisor, attends to their clients, themselves as part of their client-practitioner relationships and the wider systemic and ecological contexts, and by so doing improves the quality of their work, transforms their client relationships, continuously develops themselves their practice and the wider profession. (Hawkins and McMahon, Supervising in the helping professions, 2020)
I use an integrative supervision framework which combines the three-step model of van Ooijen (2003) and seven-eyed model of Hawkins and Shohet (2020) models, which I find brings structure and focus to the sessions but also retains visibility of the bigger, systemic picture. My style is supportive and encouraging but I also like to challenge my supervisees.
I offer one-to-one supervision and group supervision to groups of up to four supervisees. Supervision can be face-to-face or online, and I can offer the full 90 minutes per month supervision required by BACP, or shorter sessions if supervisees prefer a blended supervision approach.
Please contact me to arrange an initial meeting (free of charge) to discuss your supervision needs.
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.
