Supervision details
I am a qualified supervisor, experienced in using various supervisory theoretical approaches.
As an accredited member of both BACP and NCPS (formally NCS), I am equipped to support both trainee and qualified counsellors.
My goal as a supervisor is to provide a reflective space that supports and empowers you in your ongoing development as a counsellor.
With years of experience as a counsellor, agency leader, and tutor in counselling qualifications, I bring a wealth of knowledge to our supervisory relationship.
Supervision, in my view, should be supportive, informative and empowering. I'll help you navigate working with diverse client groups, identify potential blind spots, expand your therapeutic skills, and grow in your practice.
I am also able to complete any necessary reports or paperwork, ensuring we meet your agency or college requirements.
Fees:
Initial appointment is free by telephone to see if we are compatible to work together (30 minutes)
Student Fees: Range from £35 - £60
Qualified Counsellors: Range from £60 - £75
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).
