Supervision details
My Approach to Supervision
Just as every client is unique, I believe that supervisees bring different needs and expectations to supervision. My aim is to provide a safe, supportive, non-judgemental, and creative space where you can reflect on your client work, explore your responses, and develop greater confidence and effectiveness in your practice.
My supervisory approach is informed by the Seven-Eyed Model of Supervision, which enables us to consider the wider therapeutic picture. Together, we explore the client's world, the organisational context, the therapeutic relationship between you and your client, and the dynamics within the supervisory relationship. Attention is also given to our own responses and reflections, helping to develop a deeper understanding of the work and how best to support your clients.
Supervision Experience
My experience as a supervisor began at Mind BLMK, where I provided both individual and group supervision to trainee counsellors studying at Diploma and Master's levels, as well as qualified, paid, and volunteer counsellors. I also supervised volunteer counsellors working on placement at Samuel Whitbread Academy, supporting young people aged 13 to 18.
Following qualification as a supervisor, I continued my work with Mind BLMK while also establishing a private supervision practice, supporting both trainee and qualified counsellors across a range of settings.
The supervisees I have worked with, and continue to work with, include counsellors in private practice, clinical managers within organisations, and counsellors working within educational settings.
Since 2019, I have also worked as a Training Supervisor and Tutor at Levels 4, 5, and 6, supporting the development of future counselling professionals through both teaching and supervision.
In addition to my independent practice and tutoring roles, I currently provide both group and individual supervision supporting paid and voluntary qualified counsellors who work with young people presenting with a wide range of issues, including:
Domestic abuse
Sexual abuse
The experiences of asylum seekers and refugees
Autism
Anxiety and depression
Self-harm and suicidal ideation
Relationship difficulties
Bereavement and loss
Homelessness
and many other complex emotional, psychological, and social challenges.
My supervision is collaborative, reflective, and relational, offering a space where counsellors can feel supported, challenged appropriately, and encouraged to grow both professionally and personally.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
