Supervision details
*Now providing phone and video appointments* Hi, I'm Chris and I provide supervision to those working in the helping professions, usually but not exclusively counsellors and psychotherapists. I welcome supervisees from all backgrounds both personally and professionally. I am very passionate about supervision, I feel it is a vital ingredient for all professional helpers. Experience in the field I am trained in person centred, psychodynamic, somatic, transpersonal and CBT. This training is supported by my psychology degree, which allows me to navigate and explain much about the human condition through pragmatic and additional physiological and scientific rationale. In addition, I am an authorised teacher of yoga and meditation from Indian yoga and tantra traditions. I have been meditating every day for twenty years and find it is a hugely beneficial tool for maintaining mental and emotional well-being. Therefore, I have many perspectives and techniques to draw from. Relational approach I gain enormous satisfaction working with both new and experienced helping professionals. As an integrative relational psychotherapist my focus is always on client before theory, experience and present-moment, before therapeutic ideology. I look forward to hearing from and please do not hesitate to contact me.
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.
