Supervision details
· The purpose of ‘counselling-supervision’ is to give you consultative support to maximise the constructive and healthy nature of your counselling relationships in addition to attending to your wellbeing by providing you with your own constructive resource that also breaks down the isolation of the counsellor role.
· We will have a contractually negotiated relationship to support, evaluate and develop your professional practice
· If you are a student, I will only use the same theoretical orientation you are training in until you gain experience.
· I will help you with any ethical dilemmas that arise in your practice, draw your attention to any ethical issues or standards of practice that may be overlooked and help raise your ethical awareness.
· I will help you to identify and process the vicarious trauma which helping professionals experience in their daily working lives and give support and guidance to prevent burnout and attend to your emotional wellbeing.
· I will have an empathic and compassionate understanding of the considerable demands counselling places upon you and will endeavour to help you should you become over-involved, confused as to what is happening with a particular client or have undermining doubts about your own usefulness.
· While working with the distress and difficulties of others you may seek to avoid areas that are painful to yourself which could frustrate any healing for your client. I aim to provide a safe, supporting, collaborative relationship free of evaluations to enable you stay open to yourself and your clients.

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.
