Supervision details
Supervision in counselling and psychotherapy is a fundamental element of ethical therapeutic practice. The purpose is to establish a safe, structured space in which to build a strong, trusting and collaborative working alliance, attending to various needs of the supervisee. These include aspects of theoretical and relational learning, guidance and support in relation to clinical work and any organisational/training requirements including feedback and evaluation, and supporting ongoing professional and self-development.
I work holistically, providing firm grounding to explore and attend to your supervisory needs. My intention is to provide a supportive, consistent, dynamic and appropriately challenging environment in which you feels safe to explore clinical work, facilitating insight, knowledge, understanding, ethical awareness and reflexivity. By providing space to review, reflect and critically examine your practice, my aim is to aid integration of your personal and professional development, new information, application of skills and overall competency, for the client’s benefit.
My supervisory practice is grounded in a relational, developmental integrative approach. I work with trainees and qualified practitioners, either as individuals or in groups (max. of four per group). Drawing on the Seven-Eyed Model of supervision, I focus on multiple dimensions of clinical work including the context of the work, approaches and interventions, relational dynamics, unconscious processes including working with transference and countertransference, and ethical considerations.
Whether you are a trainee building confidence or a seasoned practitioner refining advanced skills, my aim is to work with you at every stage, to oversee and facilitates personal and professional development, ongoing development of clinical competencies, ensure the welfare of clients and support ethical best practice.
I am able to support humanistic and integrative modalities, and adhere to the BACP ethical framework.
Supervision fees: £60 per hour
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.
