Supervision details

I feel that a good supervisory relationship is characterised by a wide scope of curiosity that is not just about the client but also about the therapist. 

The work, if done right, is naturally discombobulating and will impact on us as practitioners in many ways. I offer a reflective, supportive and informative space for us to collaborate to explore the professional and ethical complexities of your client work and your thoughts and feelings about it, without any shame or judgement.

My position on supervision starts with the belief that the supervisee already has within them the answer. However, none of us can continuously mentalise without some kind of scaffold - especially not when we are so up close to the work. I feel my role as supervisor is to be that scaffold, to help illuminate any blind spots and jump-start any stalled mentalising. If you find yourself feeling stuck with a particular client, I can help you re-find the direction.

I'm a Level 7 practitioner and have been working in private practice with clients six years. I'm an integrated therapist by training and am comfortable working with different modalities including CBT, humanistic, existentialist, and  psychodynamic. All my work is underpinned by the core values of the person-centred approach and in my own practice I lean heavily towards the psychodynamic modality.

I offer clinical supervision for therapists at all levels of experience and also for supervisors. 

My fees for qualified therapists are £75 for 90 mins.

For trainee therapists, it's £45 for 60 mins or £60 for 90 mins.

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.

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. 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.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
