Supervision details

A flexible service, booking/rescheduling for free up to eight hours before supervision starts...

As an integrative clinical supervisor, counsellor, previous L3 counselling lecturer & family trainer, I have seventeen years of experience counselling in international & private practice settings.
As well as working within children and young people's services for over 25 years (Accredited Children & Young People's Therapist), I hold space for qualified practitioners and managers across a wide variety of services and sectors. 

Experience: - working within the education, social services /child protection, charitable and international education sectors, all of which enhance my ability to support your work.

Exposure: Having lived experience in China and the Middle East, I have worked with many nationalities and cultures. EAL/Expat and third-culture experiences augment my work challenges and support your knowledge of diversity and difference. 

Insights gained from working online (Est 2009) and face-to-face in the Leek staff's private practice have proven that offering ethical standards via a modern, flexible booking system. 

Please call or email your expression of interest

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.
