Supervision details
With 18 years of experience as a dedicated therapist, I bring a wealth of knowledge and insight to my role as a qualified psychotherapy supervisor. My extensive background in Psychotherapy not only informs my supervisory work but also enriches the guidance and support I offer to both qualified counsellors and students. I work with supervisees that practice in the Humanistic modalities (Gestalt, Person Centred and Transactional Analysis)
I provide supervision in both individual and group settings, fostering a collaborative and reflective practice environment. My approach emphasises the importance of being reflective, relational practitioners, encouraging supervisees to engage deeply with their work, explore their professional growth, and enhance their therapeutic skills.
Whether you are a seasoned counsellor seeking to deepen your practice or a student eager to learn and grow, my supervision sessions are designed to support your professional journey. Together, we will navigate the complexities of therapeutic work, ensuring you feel confident and competent in your role.
Understanding your specific needs, client load, and where you are in your training is crucial to providing effective supervision. During our initial session, we will discuss these aspects in detail to ensure that we are the right fit for each other. This personalised approach allows us to tailor the supervision to best support your professional development and address your unique challenges.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
