Supervision details
I feel passionate about supervision and the difference that good supervision can make, not only to our client work but to who we become as practitioners.
I've experienced a variety of supervision styles throughout my own career, including some exceptional supervision that has challenged me, helped me understand myself better and had a lasting influence on the way I practise.
My own supervision training is based around the Seven-Eyed Model. I was drawn to this approach because it allows us to look beyond simply discussing the client or what happened in a session. We can also explore what's happening for you as the practitioner, the relationship between you and your client, what might be happening between us in supervision, and the wider context around the work.
My style is supportive, engaged and reflective. I'll ask questions, notice patterns and blind spots, and sometimes use metaphors, parallels or creative approaches to help us look at something differently. There's room to bring uncertainty, mistakes and the parts of the work you might be struggling with, without feeling judged.
I want supervision to feel useful and alive, and for you to leave with greater clarity, fresh thinking and a stronger sense of yourself as a practitioner.
Please feel free to contact me if you'd like to have a chat about whether my style of supervision might suit you.
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.
