Supervision details
CLINICAL SUPERVISION In addition to my Counselling Psychotherapy qualifications, I am also a BACP accredited trained Clinical Supervisor - September 2017. Supervision was described by the authors Inskipp and Proctor as "A working alliance between two professionals where supervisees offer an account of their work, reflect on it, receive feedback, and receive guidance if appropriate. The object of this alliance is to enable the worker to gain in ethical competency, confidence and creativity, so as to give the best possible service to clients". Supervision should always be appropriate to your needs and to those of your client/s. I offer you the safe space for this exploration, to review and discuss ongoing work with your clients, caseload, diversity, contracts, goals, strategies, ethical dilemmas, interventions, blocks and observations skills. In addition to this, I offer space and support for you to explore your feelings, counter-transference, fears, thoughts, parallel processes and much more.
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.
