Supervision details
I am currently offering low-cost counselling supervision (£10-£15) to qualified counsellors, either outdoors in west Kent or online, subject to availability. Here are my answers to some hopefully useful questions...
What supervision qualifications do you have?
I am currently completing my Advanced Certificate in Clinical Supervision (including Online and Telephone Working), through Counselling Tutor. This Level 6 training focuses on Hawkins & Shohet’s Seven-eyed model of supervision, amongst other models.
I have also spent many years providing line management supervision within the charity sector, where I supported advocates, outreach workers and listening support volunteers with their casework and professional development.
What is your style/approach?
In my counselling practice, I work pluralistically, with my core modalities being person-centred and solution-focused therapy. I work with a wide range of clients but have a particular interest in working with those on the path to burnout, often due to workplace or family pressures.
In my supervision practice, I look to provide a warm, creative and pragmatic space to reflect on your counselling work and its impact, and to recharge your batteries.
What do you offer?
I offer 60 or 90 minute supervision sessions, either on an ongoing basis or as standalone ad-hoc sessions. This can be either:
- Outdoor Supervision in quiet, accessible leafy spaces around Tonbridge and Sevenoaks in west Kent
- Online Supervision via Zoom or similar
You could also choose to do a mixture of the two, if that works best for you.
What is your background and experience?
In 2010, I obtained my Foundation Degree in Counselling, awarded with Distinction, from the University of Bristol. My degree was in Humanistic and Integrative Counselling.
I spent a decade working in the charity sector, in counselling, advocacy, parental support, youth outreach and supervisory/management roles. I also provided counselling within community, NHS and education settings.
In spring 2022, I set up my private practice, further details of which are available at https://www.theburnoutcounsellor.co.uk/.
What are your fees?
While I complete my training, my fee is £10 per hour, or £15 for 1.5 hours of counselling supervision.
Just drop me a message to arrange an intro call.
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.
