Supervision details
I am a Person-Centred Counsellor and Counselling Supervisor who works with supervisees to actualise their potential and that of their clients. I hold a Level 4 Diploma In Therapeutic Counselling as well as a Level 6 Certificate in Therapeutic Counselling Supervision. I have also been Tutor of Counselling across different Counselling qualifications..
I have worked with the third sector, EAPs and also training providers to have gained insight with a diverse range of clients groups and their concerns. This has involved short, medium and long term work across face to face, online and telephone counselling.
I aim to foster a reflective, collaborative and collegiate supervision space that helps shape your personal and professional development. My role is to understand what you would like to gain from supervision, how you would like supervision to fit with your vision for being an ethical and reflective practitioner who works in the best interests of your clients and how supervision might be used to springboard your onward development as a counsellor. I am keen to ensure that there is collaborative and collegiate reflection at all stages of development along your professional development journey.
My process of facilitating supervision is to present the opportunity for reflection and feedback whilst offering challenge to help you shape and develop your strengths as well as understanding how to cultivate your growing edges. This means ensuring that you experience supervision as a restorative, formative and normative relational process with a birds eye view over your work.
My Supervisory way of working uses the Person-Centred approach as a foundation to combine the use of the Seven-Eyed Model, Carroll's Seven Tasks of Supervision alongside the CLEAR model. These models would facilitate the process of exploring the most appropriate interventions to use, consider the impact of counselling upon you and to have a better understanding of the profession to ensure that we both work to the highest ethical standards,
As counsellor, my practice is very much Person-Centred and continues to involve to integrate other modalities to ensure a supportive, pragmatic, client-centred focus. I have experience of working with the Integrative Approach as well as teaching trainee counsellors. This equips me with a good understanding of how professional standards are important at all stages of professional and personal development.
I have an interest in working with supervisees who are from the South Asian and Black Communities or work with clients these and other under-represented communities in order to develop cultural humility.
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.
