Supervision details
Clinical supervision helps ensure ethical practice and the safety of clients by providing a structured opportunity to reflect on practice, approach, and interventions. It allows space to explore our own process, experiences, and emotions, maintaining our own wellbeing and self-care, to allow us to be more effective therapists. Supervision supports us to deepen our skills and awareness and encourages personal development.
My supervision practice is informed by Hawkins & Shohet's Seven Eyed Model of Supervision, a holistic model which considers the whole of the therapeutic process. I work in a relational and collaborative manner to support and encourage you, but also gently challenge where necessary. As an integrative therapist, I draw from a number of different models and modalities where appropriate.
I provide supervision in person and remotely, via telephone and zoom.I offer a 30 minute initial consultation for all potential supervises which allows us a chance to get to know each other a little and discuss ways of working to see if we feel we would work well together.
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.
