Supervision details
I consider accessing my own clinical supervision as a highlight in my work calendar. I come to this space knowing that I will be accepted and heard. This is also a space where I can freely explore, critically reflect, be challenged and experience growth, both personally and professionally. Within this space, there is trust, vulnerability, modelling and shared learning. Because of this space, I can ensure that, when I am with my clients, I can offer them their own space where I am fully prepared and present, giving them my full attention. As such, in my own role as clinical supervisor, my desire is that this space is also the highlight of your work calendar where you, too, can savour the allotted time to ensure your own satisfaction, nourishment, growth and ethical accountability within your practitioner role.
I base my supervision practice on Page and Wosket’s cyclical model in collaboration with Carroll’s way of working. I adhere to BACP’s ethical framework, treating it as a current working document and a regular reference point in sessions for debate, deliberation and accountability in order to apply ethical decision making.
My primary counselling modality is person-centred although I have an integrative approach. My background in both Psychology (PhD in Psychological Trauma) and Counselling allows me to put traditional and more contemporary psychological theories into practice within my sessions.
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.
