Supervision details
As a BACP accredited therapist, I am dedicated to offering professional and supportive supervision to fellow counsellors. My services cater to therapists working with adult clients as well as those specialising in therapy for children and young people. I aim to create a nurturing environment where therapists can grow and thrive in their practice. I hold a level 5 Diploma in Counsellor Supervision (IACP accredited).
How I Work:
Relational and Approachable Supervision
I believe that the foundation of effective supervision lies in building a strong, relational connection. I strive to be approachable and create a safe space where you can openly discuss your cases, challenges, and successes. Our sessions will be a collaborative journey, where we explore your experiences and insights together.
Supervision Models: Cyclical and Developmental
My supervision approach is rooted in the cyclical model and the developmental model of counsellor supervision. The cyclical model allows us to continuously refine your practice, ensuring that each session builds upon the previous one. The developmental model acknowledges your growth as a therapist, offering guidance and support that evolves with your needs and professional development.
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).
