Supervision details
Hello, I'm Kathleen,
A little bit about me,
I offer a warm, supportive, down to earth and flexible approach to Supervision.
I think it’s important that supervisees feel heard and understood, but to me supervision is also a place to grow and be gently challenged. I believe that supervision should be a collaborative way of exploring how you work with, and view, your client relationships, your practice, and your own process.
Naturally, I experience supervision from both sides and so I’m aware that supervision can feel sometimes feel daunting and can be quite a vulnerable place to be, and simultaneously be incredibly supportive and empowering.
I work with the CRAFTS model as a supervisor.
I see that many people find working things out in a very visual or metaphorical way can be helpful and enlightening.
Approaching and offering supervision in this way fits completely with the way that I process my work personally.
As an ADHD therapist in private practice, I really enjoy working with Neurodivergent therapists and students. I have lived experience in navigating therapy/counselling training being neurodivergent which gives me a unique understanding and perspective of that experience. It's also an area in which I do a lot of CPD in. My approach is very ADHD affirming.
I'm also comfortable and happy to supervise any counsellors who may like some additional supervision around their work with Neurodivergent clients, particularly ADHD clients.
I have a PG Dip in Psychotherapy, Counselling, and Psychological Well-being. My core training is Person Centred. I have also completed training around creative counselling with APCCA, Creative Connections Cumbria, and the Creative Counsellors Community for whom I am an Ambassador and I facilitate monthly online peer support groups.
I have completed a certificate in Integrative Creative Supervision, which uses the CRAFTS framework.
I look forward to hearing from you.
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.
