Supervisor
MBACP Anxiety Stress Depression Relationships Trauma

Supervision details

 I offer person centered supervision, where I put your clinical needs at the heart of our work. As an integrative counsellor with a focus towards psychodynamic theory, we will explore you, your clinical work and  your relationships with your clients, whilst delving into the unsconscious processes at play.

- Trainee Counsellors in Placement:
When I was a trainee counsellor seeing clients for the first time, I remember how daunting and overwhelming it was. My individual supervisor offered a safe space where no matter how big or small my concerns, I felt comfortable enough to share those issues with them.

I endeavour to offer the same supportive environment to all my supervisees, where we will explore your clinical work, support you and your feelings, whilst  offering a guiding hand with all things official and academic to get you over the line. 

 -Counsellors:
Never feel alone in your clinical work. No matter whether you are in private practice or working within a school, agency or in another counselling role, I can offer a safe space to bring all your needs together..... whether you are looking for support, a guiding hand, or extra information, I can be that peer who is curious alongside you, another pair of eyes to notice the things you may have missed, someone to sit alongside you whatever happens.

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.

Key details

DBS check info

In England and Wales, the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS, formerly known as CRB) carry out criminal records checks for individuals working with vulnerable groups, such as children. To find out more, visit gov.uk , or contact this professional directly

Wheelchair user access info
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.
