Supervision details
Welcome to my supervision profile. My name is Jon. I am a qualified and experienced Counsellor, Psychotherapist, Supervisor and a Registered Member of the BACP (MBACP). I hold a BSc Hons Degree in Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy and a Diploma in Clinical Supervision.
As an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist, my philosophy of clinical supervision is rooted in a relational developmental approach. This approach emphasises the importance of the supervisory relationship, continuous developmental growth, and reflective practice. My therapeutic model of integration includes concepts from Psychodynamic, Behavioural and Humanistic theories that align with my relational developmental perspective. Similarly as a supervisor I mirror these concepts as they inform my practice when working with supervisees.
Supervision is described by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) as a “specialised form of mentoring provided for practitioners responsible for undertaking challenging work with people. Supervision is provided to ensure standards, enhance quality, advance learning, stimulate creativity, and support the sustainability and resilience of the work being undertaken.”
Drawing from the Seven Eyed Model, Integrative Developmental Model, Cyclical Model and Creativity, I offer a reflective space in which to explore and develop your practice, thereby ensuring provision of an ethical, legal and safe therapeutic relationship with your clients. Supervision is conducted within a formal working relationship, but it can take a number of different formats such as in person or online, in groups, or on a one-to-one basis.
Who is it for?
Supervision supports anyone who works relationally and emotionally with people of all ages. This may include various helping professions such as:
Counselling and Psychotherapy
Medical Professionals
Mental Health and Community Support Work
Teaching and Education
Childcare and Early Years Education
Criminal Justice and Rehabilitation
Crisis Intervention and Emergency Responders
Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy
Students in placement in any of the above professions
Supervision requirements vary depending on your profession, your regulatory body’s code of ethics and your individual needs. The BACP and other regulatory bodies suggest a minimum of 1.5 hours of supervision per month. However, your level of experience and/or the type of work/client group you are engaging with may affect how much supervision is required.
Please see my Counselling Profile for more information about my qualifications and experience.
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.
