Supervision details
Supervision is critical for everyone who works with people, in whatever capacity- it helps is make sense of what might be happening in our work, helps make better decisions, and ultimately helps us learn and grow as practitioners. I have a number of qualifications in supervision from varying fields, and have been directly supervising people within therapeutic fields for six years.
Although I draw on a number of modalities to support supervisees in their work, primarily I use TA. I started supervising in my social work roles, and continue to promote safety, and protection.
I tend to use research and theoretical frameworks in supervision to frame our exploration of the work, as well as outlining established practical tools for future work.

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.
UKATA (formally the Institute of Transactional Analysis) is the national UK Transactional Analysis organisation representing all fields of TA theory and practice. TA can be used as an effective tool in a wide range of contexts such as: personal development, management, coaching, counselling, psychotherapy, teaching, education, parenting and more.
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).
