Supervision details
My role as your supervisor is to support you in your clinical work as a therapist, and also to support you, the therapist.
Our working relationship will allow room for you to feel you can explore, reflect and challenge your work with clients. Whilst also exploring your own feelings and process.
As an integrative practitioner I am comfortable working within a range of modalities. Allowing the space to be creative and to consider different ways of looking at presenting issues.
As well as this, I also encourage you to visualise how you want to grow as a therapist. Considering specialisms, areas of interests and potential ways to evolve and expand on the passion for the work that you do.
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.
