Supervision details
I have been counselling adolescents and adults since January 2016. The foundation of my training is Person-Centred, but I work as an integrative therapist, and my toolbox has theoretical underpinnings from the following modalities: Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (somatic), Trauma-Informed, Systemic, Attachment, Therapeutic Communities, Sand-Story, Solution-Focused, Motivational Interviewing, CBT and DBT. I specialise in working with people impacted by adverse childhood experiences, domestic and sexual violence, trauma, addiction, relationship issues, family issues and more.
I work online after qualifying in a CPCAB Level 6 in Supervision.

The CPCAB Level 6 Supervision training had a relational and systemic approach and uses the seven-eyed model (Shohet, 2008). This model provides counsellors and psychotherapists with seven areas of focus that encompass the client, the therapist, the supervisor, the relationships between therapist, client and supervisor, and the wider system. The model is called “seven-eyed” because it focuses on seven distinct aspects of the therapeutic process. There is also a huge focus on the IDM, which supports personal and professional growth of the counsellor by adapting feedback and teaching style to match the counsellor’s developmental level. This can foster higher levels of self-awareness, competency, autonomy, and ethical practice.
I use a whole-system approach within supervision, in a safe and non-judgemental space. I have strong safeguarding knowledge and a trauma-informed approach to supervision. I am open to exploring my modalities more in supervision if you have a particular interest. I am also neurodiverse and therefore neuro-affirming. Please enquire if you would be interested in discussing this further, and I look forward to hearing from you.
I charge £90 for 1.5 hours.
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.
