Supervision details
My approach to supervision is warm, collaborative and grounded in curiosity rather than judgement. I believe good supervision should feel like a space where you can think out loud, explore uncertainty, celebrate successes and feel safe enough to bring the sessions that didn't go quite as you'd hoped.
Whether you're a trainee counsellor finding your therapeutic voice, newly qualified and developing confidence, or an experienced practitioner looking for a reflective space, my aim is to offer supervision that supports both your professional development and your wellbeing as a therapist.
While my practice is rooted in person-centred values, I tailor supervision to the individual, drawing on a range of therapeutic ideas and approaches where appropriate. I work primarily within the Seven-Eyed Model of Supervision (Hawkins & Shohet), encouraging reflection not only on your client work, but also on the therapeutic relationship, your own internal process, ethical considerations and the wider systems influencing practice.
Good supervision creates the opportunity to step back from the day-to-day demands of therapeutic work, making space to reflect, deepen your clinical thinking and continue developing your own authentic way of working. My role is not to provide all the answers, but to offer a safe, reflective relationship where you feel supported, appropriately challenged and encouraged to grow.
Ultimately, I hope supervision becomes somewhere you look forward to bringing both your successes and your uncertainties—a place where you can reflect openly, strengthen your confidence and continue growing into the counsellor you want to become.
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.
