Supervision details

I'm a fully qualified Supervisor, where I gained my Post Graduate Certificate in Clinical Supervision from The Manchester Institute for Psychotherapy working using the Seven-eyed supervision model. I'm willing to supervise qualified and trainee counsellors, but I also take enquiries from other sectors that require supervision.  I charge: 60 minutes: £45,  90 minutes: £50, 120 minutes: £55.  For counselling students, I charge £35, per hour. Special rates apply to emergency services personnel  The way I work: I work with the Seven-eyed supervision model. which means Demonstrating a healthy supervisory relationship, with clear and gentle feedback.  I write fair and collaborative with my supervise's.   I regularly have reviews on how the supervisions is going, so supervise's can bring any concerns they have. I can be contacted between sessions should you need emergency contact, you can email/telephone/text and I will endeavour to respond asap. I work online, telephone and I see supervise's face to face. 

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
