Supervision details
My own therapy practice is Integrative, drawing on a range of approaches including Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, Transactional Analysis, Existential, Gestalt, CBT, and ACT. I also use Personal Consultancy, which allows space for coaching-style work to be integrated into therapy where this feels appropriate and helpful.
Before training as a therapist, my professional background was in social care, where I spent many years supervising staff. This gave me a strong grounding in safeguarding, working with risk, and supporting professionals who hold a great deal of responsibility. That experience continues to inform my supervision practice today, particularly when working with complex cases and ethical considerations.
In addition to that experience, I have a BPS-approved Certificate in Advanced Supervision Skills in Clinical Supervision.
My therapy supervision work is largely informed by Proctor’s model, which emphasises learning, support, and accountability as the foundation of supervision. In practice, I adapt my approach to suit your experience, your way of working, and what you need most at different points in your professional journey.
Above all, I aim to create a collaborative, reflective relationship that feels safe and meaningful.
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.
