Supervision details

I am currently training to be a qualified supervisor on a CPCAB Level 6 course and offering 1-2-1 supervision online for counsellors either monthly for £40 an hour or fortnightly for £30 for 45 minutes. Counsellors must be CPCAB Level 4 Diploma qualified or equivalent. These supervision hours would count towards BACP membership requirements.

My background is in person-centred counselling, qualifying in 2016, and accredited with BACP in 2022. Most of my client work has been online with private clients and insurance referrals dealing with grief/loss and anxiety. I can also be a useful addition to your primary supervisor to explore setting up a private practice, working with race and ethnicity, or working towards accreditation.

 My aims as a supervisor are to help you build competence and confidence in your practice - to help you feel less stuck with client work; to develop your own internal supervisor; and to recognise and uphold the professional boundaries and ethical framework that matter to you.

 Testimonials

 From supervisee:

 “I am so pleased to have found Jen. She has been just what I needed at a time when I was struggling to feel engaged in my practice. She has helped me to reconnect with my work, and I really appreciate her sensible, grounded, and person-centred perspective and direction.”

 From peer group supervision colleagues:

 “Supervision with Jen felt insightful, person-centred, and professional. Jen is an experienced therapist and her professional knowledge was an absolute asset to our supervision process and I felt so held and full of growth every time I came out of our group supervision. I would highly recommend Jen to any person-centred counsellors!”

 “I've been in a peer supervision group with Jen for over a year now. I rate many things about her supervision. Her style is a good balance of support and challenge. Her breadth of knowledge makes her one of my go-to people for professional advice. I particularly appreciate her can-do attitude and excellent organisation skills - they've helped me to go out of my comfort zone, while at the same time, remaining grounded and practical.“

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
