Supervision details
Good supervision can be really hard to find.
As practitioners, we work so hard and give so much, so the need for a nourishing supervisory space is key. Good supervision supports us in our client work, our personal growth and in our professional development. I know from many years of experience as a therapist that we all need somewhere to safely talk about our client work, to work out what's happening with our clients, and find new ways through impasses. I seek to provide a holding and nurturing supervisory space, where we can explore your needs, build your practice and work through the issues in your work without shame or judgement. Whether you are a trainee, at the beginning of your training journey, or an experienced practitioner, I will tailor my supervisory approach to you and your needs.
As a supervisor, I work relationally to help create a safe place for you to be supported in your work, and to gently challenge you to be a more reflective practitioner. I draw on the Seven Eyed model of supervision to ensure that we attend to all areas of practice to best support you. I also use relational-developmental models of supervision so that we may attend to not just you and your clients, but the entire field conditions of the ever-changing and complex world we live in, where identity, circumstance and culture have such a big impact on all of us.
In addition to my work as a supervisor, I am a qualified and experienced psychotherapist, who has worked organisationally as a Severe and Multiple Disadvantages specialist therapist. I am now in private practice, where I have a particular clinical and research interest in working with gender, sexual and relationship diversity, Borderline process and CPTSD, though I see a diverse range of clients, both individuals and couples/intimate partners. I received my Post Graduate Diploma in Clinical Supervision from the Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute.
My core modality is Humanistic Integrative, but I am happy to work with supervisees who practice across any Humanistic modalities. However, if you come from a different modality and would like to discuss working together, I am happy to explore how we might make this work together.
My fees for supervision are £60 per hour, and I have availability for online supervision on Thursdays.
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.
