Supervision details
I am currently undertaking a Level 6 Diploma in Integrative Supervision for Individuals and Groups with The Grove Practice. My supervisory framework is the 7-Eyed Model as it allows us to look at the work from different lenses:
1. The client’s world - their lived experience.
2. The therapist’s/supervisee’s interventions, techniques and goals.
3. The process and relationship between the therapist/supervisee and the client; exploring conscious and unconscious processes between you and your client.
4. The therapist’s/supervisee’s process, attending to your own emotional and somatic responses to your client’s material; your internal process.
5. Parallel process, identifying how your client’s dynamics might be mirrored in our relationship as supervisor and supervisee; the here- and-now relationship.
6. The internal experience as supervisor; the sharing of the supervisor’s emotional and somatic responses to the material presented.
7. The wider context, considering ethical frameworks, professional standards of relevant membership bodies, organisational requirements, etc.
I believe that supervision is a collaborative process and we will work to your agenda, as the supervisee, within the framework and focus agreed at the start of each supervision session. I will offer you guidance, support and supportive challenge
My approach
I am an experienced qualified psychotherapist and counsellor with an MA in Counselling and Psychotherapy and am a registered and accredited member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (‘BACP’), which requires me to be insured to practice, receive appropriate standards of supervision and undertake relevant Continuing Professional Development. I abide by the guidelines, code of ethics and professional practice standards set out by the BACP.
I am an integrative therapist, working with adults, from young to the elderly. My approach is a blend of psychodynamic, existential and humanistic approaches. I have also undertaken significant additional training, including trauma and suicide prevention, focusing and other somatic practices. I have an in-depth understanding of somatic mindbody approaches.
Additionally, I am a SIRPA practitioner, specialising in chronic pain and chronic illness, and am also trained in Pain Reprocessing Therapy and Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy.
Fees
Whilst I complete my Diploma, I am offering reduced rates for supervision as a supervisor in training:
- Individual Supervision (50 minutes): £25 (trainees) £35 (qualified)
- Individual Supervision (1.5 hours): £45 (trainees) £60 (qualified)
- Group Supervision (1.5 hours): £15 per trainee supervisee; £20 per qualified supervisee (maximum of 4 per group).
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.
