Supervision details
In 2010 I took on a counselling project and found myself supervising volunteer counsellors. Some experienced, some novices and all from very different therapeutic approaches, psychodynamic, integrative, play therapy, art therapy and more. I loved the work but was keen to support my new role with training. In 2012 I qualified with a Diploma in Individual and Group Supervision, from Cascade. I have loved the work I have carried out in both 1-1 and group supervision, the process of reflection and understanding is wonderful to experience collaboratively and when possible I enjoy working creatively. Toys, stones and pencils really do help get to the heart of our responses and processes so much quicker. Often supervisor has the connotation of being superior, better or all knowing. It was wonderful to break this myth down in my training and learn the power of working together and of course another pair of eyes and ears on the content we are trying to process. I believe supervision should be enjoyable and exciting most of the time, allowing for the difficult challenges when necessary as that's where we develop and grow the most. At the moment I offer online, telephone and walk and talk supervision. If you have any questions or would like an informal introductory chat, please get in touch. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Rachel
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.
