Supervision details
I have been working as a supervisor for many years now and have a Diploma awarded with Distinction from a training endorsed by the BACP. My approach is supportive and collaborative and I always seek to be aiding supervisee's to grow in confidence, feel 're-fuelled' and generally resourced in the work. I am also a trainer of 18+years and teach people to become counselling practitioners through the bulk of my week, so I feel I am aware of the requirements of trainees as well as experienced practitioners. I am integrative in approach and like to consider the work holistically. I am informed by different supervisory tools but find Brigid Proctors model most practical. I'm told I have a good sense of humour and I hope you will find me warm and a person of humility to work with at depth.
Update: no supervision slots available currently
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.
