Supervision details
Supervision is a process of facilitating, via a collaborative interaction that has been negotiated in order to protect the interests of, and to serve the needs of the client. It further enhances and enables practitioner development in direct relation to their current practice. In a working relationship personal resources of the supervisor and supervisee are directed, in regular sessions towards maximising the competence of the supervisee in helping clients.
The aim of my supervision is to provide an attentive and supportive climate within which the individual can develop new options for managing themselves and their work with greater satisfaction and effectiveness.
Supervision aims to achieve this by:
· Considering responsibility of standards and ethics. Ie. Ethical requirement of the BACP, colleges, and other organisations
· Sharing the responsibility for the professional development of the supervisee’s skills, knowledge and understanding in a way that the supervisee can understand and absorb
· Offering the supervisee constructive feedback, challenge, support and a safe place “for discharging and recharging batteries” (Inskipp and Proctor, 1989)
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.
