Supervision offers safe, supportive spaces for newly qualified & experienced practitioners to reflect on their practice to learn, develop, enhance knowledge, increase confidence, care for their own wellbeing & support individual development.
Supervision is considered an ethical & professional expectation to support effective practice, alongside being an ethical framework requirement under regulatory bodies such as BACP & UKCP if you are a registered member.
Connected, comfortable & convenient:
Online supervision sessions (via a video conferencing platform) & telephone sessions take place from the comfort of your own home, allowing you a reflective space that is comfortable, familiar & convenient. This offers you enhanced convenience to work around your role, practice & commitments.
In accordance with ethical frameworks, we recommend supervision once a month (at least).
You are also able to request when you would like your supervision session through our online booking system.
Space journal:
When you book in your first supervision session with GINA, you will receive a complimentary professionally printed copy of our accompanying supervision journal: Space. This resource pairs perfectly with your supervision sessions and allows you to capture, reflect on, and work alongside supervision sessions.
Supervision sessions take place with Kay, our qualified clinical supervisor…
Meet Kay:
I’m Kay (female) & I am a qualified clinical supervisor specializing in working with supervisee’s who’s clients have been subjected to sexual trauma, violence & abuse.
I offer a safe, trusting space where we can work together to explore your clients using different modalities such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), trauma-informed, Humanistic & person-centred. Whether you are just beginning your journey as a counsellor or whether you are more experienced, we work together so you get the best from your sessions.
The foundation of my supervision sessions use the three-step method, which I feel gives structure, reflection & achievement to each session. As a supervisee, you can then build on this foundation to ensure the sessions meet your needs & style of supervision. You may feel that working creatively works & we can use imaginary, therapy cards & drawing… or you may feel that having more structure works better, so we will adapt sessions accordingly.
There will be sessions where I offer more support & times when I may challenge you to help with your professional development, which can be discussed with you to understand how you would like to be supported & challenged so you get the most out of your supervision sessions.
As part of our supervision sessions, I encourage you to use the Space journal, which you can use alongside our sessions, after client sessions, or in moments of reflection; this supports sessions & also offers a good reference point to refer back to & read/reflect on. It is your journal to be as creative as you wish… draw, colour, words, collage… whatever supports you best.
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.
