Supervision details
We offer supervision to counsellors and other helping professionals in a supportive and safe environment; to help support the work they are doing with clients; it is centred around a collaborative approach to keep the practitioner and the client safe. We aim to build a collaborative relationship with our supervisees to ensure that they feel part of the process and are empowered to work ethically and appropriately with clients.
Drawing on years of knowledge as practitioners our supervisors can work with different theoretical orientations and experience levels; we can support counsellors working with areas that include trauma, neuro-divergence, mental health issues and couples work. We also support professionals working in in other areas, such as mentoring, bereavement services and other charity sector roles.
As a social enterprise offering affordable counselling Midland Therapy Group works with trainees to provide low cost counselling to our community. Part of what we offer the trainees is free supervision as part of their placement; this means we have a vast experience of working with the concerns and issues trainees experience during their placement and training but also have worked with a number of different colleges and universities.
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.
