Supervision details
I qualified as a supervisor in 2010. My approach is humanistic and integrative, and I currently supervise counsellors who work for the NHS, Mind, EAPs, bereavement services, charity organisations, and in private practice.
In addition, I am also Clinical Supervisor for the Counselling & Wellbeing Service at Kingston University and Clinical Supervisor to the Counselling Service at City Lit, the adult education college in central London.
My previous experience as a supervisor includes:
* Supervising placement counsellors for the Counselling Service at the University of Greenwich
* Supervisor at Canterbury Christ Church University for the counselling placement scheme
* Clinical Supervisor at Mind in Croydon
* Supervisor at the Psychosynthesis & Education Trust working with students on the University of East London validated postgraduate counselling programme
* Supervisor at the West London Centre for Counselling
* Supervisor at Cruse Bereavement Care in Eastbourne
I have supervised the work of counsellors from a range of theoretical models - e.g. humanistic, integrative, person-centred, psychosynthesis, gestalt and psychodynamic.
My counselling experience is based around a large private practice working with clients of all ages and sexual orientation, and from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds. I have worked too as a telephone counsellor for AXA ICAS, one of the largest providers of Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs) in the UK. In addition, I have been a Study Tutor at the Psychosynthesis & Education Trust in London where I ran group and individual tutorials.
As a BACP accredited counsellor (MBACP Accred), I adhere to the BACP’s Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions.
LOCATION
I am based in Westerham, near Sevenoaks, in Kent. Telephone and online supervision is also available.
FEES
I charge £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.
