Supervision details
I offer supervision to coaches, counsellors, and psychotherapists.
Coaching and Counselling Supervision is a safe and confidential space for you to process your client case material. It is a dynamic, collaborative space in which to think about, and feel, your client work. For coaches, counsellors and psychotherapists supervision is an essential and integral part of our work. It is where we keep our clients best interests at the forefront of our discussion but also where we can recognise and acknowledge our feelings and responses to the narratives we hear from those we work with.
In Coaching and Counselling Supervision I will support you to be courageous in your client work, and gently challenge you in this too. Supervision is a space of growth and transformation. I work in the dialogue between Psychodynamic and Person-Centred modalities, encouraging you to see the connections between past and present, and the patterns in your client's experiences. We will observe parallel processes occurring within our own sessions, allowing you to look at your work through a different lens.
Much of my clinical work has been with high risk client groups (prison, substance use with co-occurring physical and mental health issues) providing me with a wealth of experience in working with safeguarding issues, and I can support you to find ethical ways forward should you be faced with complex safeguarding situations or ethical dilemmas. My areas of experience and particular specialisation within supervision are: Safeguarding,Trauma, Substance use, Self-harm, Anxiety, Depression, Childhood sexual abuse, Relationship difficulties, Stress, Criminal justice, Prison work, Physical health problems with co-occuring mental health issues.
I have limited spaces for coaching supervisees at present.
I do not have any availability for counselling supervisees right now.
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.
