Supervision details
Hi, I'm Nicky
I have been a person centred counsellor and life coach for several years and work with young people and adults face to face and online. I have counselled clients through bereavement, anxiety, depression, stress, ADHD, Autism, and low self-esteem issues among many other feelings that arise from their unique life experiences.
Each person I see has their own way of expressing themselves. I encourage supervisees and clients to talk in a way that they feel comfortable with, for example, drawing on characters and experiences from video games, tv shows, books or films they identify with. I also encourage accessing the creative mind and creative expression (e.g. through sharing art, drawing or song lyrics) which helps us build the supervisory relationship & bring new insight and better understanding. I may also introduce theories, psycho education into sessions if it is of benefit to you.
Although most of my work is counselling, I find some of the coach comes out in me as some supervisees and clients find their current concerns are about their future. So, we can, when appropriate, look together at what your clients want and need to have a fulfilling life as well as explore how to achieve it.
How we work together depends very much on your personal style, experience and particular needs from each session which we can discuss when we first meet and monitor regularly to make sure you get the most out of our time together.
Additional knowledge concerning PTSD, NLP, Life coaching, Health Coaching CYP (13+).
My fee is £60 per hour or £75 for 1 1/2 hours.
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.
