Supervision details
As an experienced and certified Integrative Psychotherapist, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a diverse range of therapeutic techniques to my supervision practice. Having obtained a Level 6 Certificate in Therapeutic Counselling Supervision from the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB), I am well-equipped to provide high-quality supervision to therapists at various stages of their professional journey.
My approach to supervision is grounded in the principles of integrative psychotherapy. This enables me to tailor my supervision style to meet the unique needs of each supervisee. I believe in creating a supportive and collaborative environment, where therapists can explore, reflect, and grow in their practice.
In supervision, I focus on empowering therapists to navigate the complexities of their practice. Common challenges that I help therapists address include:
Developing Therapeutic Skills: Enhancing intervention strategies, refining counselling techniques, and fostering a deeper understanding of different therapeutic models.
Handling Difficult Cases: Offering insights and support for managing challenging client situations, including working with high emotional intensity, resistance and suicide risk.
Professional Development: Guiding therapists in setting and achieving their career goals, whether they are new to the field or seeking advanced skill refinement.
Ethical Dilemmas: Assisting in navigating ethical concerns and maintaining professional boundaries, ensuring both client welfare and therapist integrity.
Self-Care and Burnout Prevention: Emphasising the importance of self-care, helping therapists develop strategies to maintain their well-being and prevent burnout in a demanding profession.
Reflective Practice: Encouraging a reflective approach to counselling, aiding therapists in understanding their own responses and biases, and how these impact their work.
My role is to create a supportive environment where you can openly discuss these challenges, gain new perspectives, and develop your skills confidently. I am committed to helping you grow both personally and professionally, ensuring that you provide the highest standard of care to your clients.
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.
