Supervision details
I aim to provide supervision that is both supportive and challenging, a space to work through and process the clinical work that you do. I believe in a collaborative approach to supervision, working with the material that you bring to explore appropriate and effective outcomes for you and the client, whether that is an ethical dilemma, feelings around working with particular clients or to acknowledge the impact the process of therapy is having.
Over the past few years I have set up a private practice working with adults and young people, alongside work in both a charity and grammar school setting, increasing my experience of the ethical dilemmas and difficulties that these settings can come with.
My training is integrative and I have a particular passion for the Person-Centred and Transactional Analysis approaches which has reinforced my belief in the power of the supervisory relationship. This mirrors my therapeutic work and so gives considerations to how you experience the work with your clients so that we can look beyond the narrative and explore the implicit process' that occur in the work.
Supervision sessions are available in person both in Thame and High Wycombe or online via Zoom.
Sessions are £50 per hour with concessions available for counsellors completing their training 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.
