Supervision details
Are you a qualified counsellor that’s looking for a fresh perspective on your practice?
Are you a counselling student that’s looking to become an insightful, effective counsellor with a rewarding career?
Through working with you in a safe, accepting way, I can help you truly enhance your work as a counsellor.
My approach to supervision is designed to help each supervisee feel safe enough to honestly examine their own practice; this is founded on a recognition of your own unique qualities as a therapist. With a trusting relationship established, we can co-operate in a way that affirms the good work that you do, while also offering constructive challenge where appropriate. Supervision with me isn’t about meeting some external idea of the perfect counsellor; it’s about working together to help you become the counsellor *you* are meant to be.
In addition to having my own private practice and working as a counsellor in the NHS, I have also spent time working in the commercial sector. This means that I have a strong insight into what it takes to build a career as a counsellor. Sometimes even the best therapists can struggle to be adequately compensated; as part of supervision, I can work with you to help ensure that you are in the best position possible to earn a living from your hard work.
Fees:
My standard fee for supervision is £70 per hour.
I offer the following discounts:
· Long-term supervisees are eligible for a rate of £65 per hour, when 5 sessions are paid for in advance.
· The rate for counselling students is £60 per hour.
Qualification:
I have a Postgraduate Certificate in Supervision in Counselling, Psychotherapy and Helping Relationships.
Availability:
At present, I am open to accepting new supervisees. Please get in touch to arrange an initial discussion so we can find out if we might be able to work together.
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.
