Supervision details
Hello, I am a qualified supervisor, offering supervision to both individuals and groups, online and in-person. My experience includes supervising counsellors and also staff of organisations working with vulnerable adults or children.
I offer a containing space to support, develop and reflect with supervisees. I aim to foster a safe, encouraging environment that allows supervisees to explore areas of difficulty without invitations to shame. My hope is that less experienced supervisees gain confidence and proficiency in their therapeutic efficacy and have the opportunity to develop their identity as practitioners, and more experienced supervisees have a respectful, collegial space to reflect and share.
It is my intention to provide safety, and the professional but warm space I experience in my own supervision. I know what a beneficial relationship this can be and how important it is to get right; I always work to achieving that for others.
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.
