Supervision details
Qualified supervisor with a PGCert in Clinical Supervision from the University of Derby.
Like counselling, the relationship between supervisor and supervisee is of utmost importance, and a supportive and collaborative approach is essential.
My background includes working with young people in FE and HE as a lecturer and personal tutor, working with individual and group service users in a charity setting and supporting adults and young people in private practice.
Alongside my integrative diploma in counselling, I am also a qualified teacher and currently teach on the counselling diploma at the Collaborative Counselling Academy in Stevenage.
My counselling practice specialises in working with domestic and sexual abuse, including childhood sexual abuse, with additional training and experience in pre-trial therapy and supporting clients through the criminal justice system, as well as working with self-harm and suicidality.
My approach to supervision considers not just you as a practitioner, but also as an individual. I believe in a holistic approach and aim to support not just professional development, but personal reflective skills as well. I believe supervision to not just be an overseeing of clinical work, but a space in which to explore your own needs, strengths and areas for development also.
I work largely within an adapted approach to the Seven-Eyed Model of Supervision, with a greater emphasis on relational and systemic factors, embedded witin a feminist framework which aims to recognise and reduce power imbalances and minimise oppression and discrimination.
Fees:
£60 per hour (full 60 minutes).
£45 per hour for counselling students.
Please check your own membership body requirements for the amount of monthly supervision and consider how many clients you see - the minimum requirement may not be enough to safely supervise your whole practice.

**Please note that whilst I am happy to supervise both qualified and trainee counsellors, your membership body or training provider may have their own requirements for length of practice and/or accreditation status, so please check with them to ensure you are meeting their requirements.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society
This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations.
In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
