Supervision details
As a supervisor I think it is really important to be on the side of the therapist, to be part of their team and to care about how they are doing. There has to be trust as well as laughter, because often the centre of the client is in what we as a therapist really feel about them, but we sometimes dare not share that.
As a psychodynamic supervisor, I am listening for the feelings within the encounter between the therapist and the client. These feelings and dynamics sometimes also get played out between supervisor and therapist - parallel process.
I also believe the body is important: the therapist's bodily reactions, the supervisor's, the client's. And dreams too can be valuable - though difficult! I value the insights of analysts such as Betty Joseph, Winnicott and Anna Freud.
Please feel free to phone and we can talk about what you might be looking for.
The British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) is a professional association, representing the profession of psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
The organisation is itself made up of fourteen member organisations and BPC accredits the trainings of its member organisations. An individual who qualifies from one of these trainings is then eligible for entry into the BPC's register.
BPC registrants are governed by a code of ethics, a policy of continuing professional development, a statement on confidentiality and a complaints procedure. The BPC is a Member Society of the European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in the Public Sector (EFPP). Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
