Supervision details

​Good supervision is something I am passionate about and meetings should be empowering, not punitive, as well as enriching and enlightening.  It should be something you look forward to, not dread, or a tick box. I offer supportive but challenging supervision. A place to explore whether you are working effectively as a Practitioner, and to offer insight that might have been missed. But also, a safe place to share the difficult work that we are sometimes faced with. 

I qualified as a Supervisor in 2013 and have supervised groups, individuals and Trainee Counsellors, in Private Practice, the NHS and within Higher Education. My own modality as a Counsellor is Person Centred, though I am comfortable and have experience of supervising other modalities in an integrated practice.

I have a Diploma in Counselling Supervision as well as a qualification in online work (Certified Cyber Therapy).  I have experience of both long and short-term work and also experience of working with Children and Young People.

I am able to offer face to face Supervision in Hampshire or online via Teams or Zoom.

As a Counsellor, my organisational work and experience has been varied. From working within a Hospice, supporting patients and their families; working with oncology patients in an NHS setting; and in Higher Education as a University Counsellor working with students. My current position involves supporting those affected by Kidney Disease. I am qualified to work with CYP and hold a post graduate qualification in Childhood Bereavement. I have been in Private Practice for 15 years.

I could throw in lots of theoretical jargon and qualifications here, but that might not mean very much to you.

So how do you choose your Counsellor? 

Of course you want your Counsellor to have undergone reputable training and to be qualified but you also need to feel that this is someone you can trust and feel safe with. Counselling is different things to different people. Sometimes it is a space to offload, sometimes it may be a place where you can explore and make sense of things that have happened, and sometimes it may be where your long-held beliefs might need to be challenged. 

Friends and family may be supportive, but they will often have an unconscious bias and want to ‘fix’ things. The counselling relationship is unique. As your Counsellor I do not have an agenda and will support you through rocky times as you navigate your way to a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences. Understanding the past and present so that you do not carry your problems into the future.

Working collaboratively with my clients, I treat everyone with respect, warmth and honesty, that I believe we are all entitled to.

Supervision
Supervision should be a collaborative and supportive relationship, where you as the Counsellor, can present your successes, as well as your perceived mistakes. It is a unique relationship founded on trust and is a two way process. 

Good supervision is something I am passionate about and meetings should be empowering, not punitive, as well as enriching and enlightening.  It should be something you look forward to, not dread, or a tick box. I offer supportive but challenging supervision. A place to explore whether you are working effectively as a Practitioner, and to offer insight that might have been missed.

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.

Wheelchair user access
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.
