Supervision details
Supervision can be a place to bring the clients who stay with you after the session has ended, the work you feel confident about, the work you are questioning, and the moments when something feels difficult to understand or you simply feel stuck.
As a trainee supervisor, I offer a warm, collaborative and reflective space where we can think together about your client work and about what may be happening for you within the therapeutic relationship.
My approach is trauma-informed and relational, drawing on Somatic Experiencing, NeuroAffective Touch and IFS-informed parts work. This allows us to explore not only the client’s story, but also nervous-system responses, attachment, dissociation, protective parts, countertransference and the places where the work may feel difficult to move forward.
My understanding of trauma is also informed by Judith Herman’s stages of recovery, including safety and stabilisation, trauma processing, and reconnection and integration. This can help us think about what a client may need at a particular stage, rather than feeling pressure to move too quickly.
I see supervision as a place for curiosity rather than having to know all the answers. There is space to reflect, explore uncertainty, develop your clinical thinking and grow in confidence in your own way of working.
I particularly welcome counsellors working with trauma, attachment difficulties, dissociation or more complex presentations.
As I am currently completing my supervision training, I am offering supervision at a reduced fee.
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.
