Supervision details
I see supervision as a creative dialogue, where we are both learning and discovering. It can be a space to be curious and playful or to feel safe enough to acknowledge the deep emotional currents that can pervade the therapeutic relationship, and sometimes just to think practically about a client's situation. I enjoy acknowledging and fostering my supervisees' strengths and creating a safe space where it feels OK to explore and think from different perspectives. It can also be a nurturing and restorative place where we can de-compress from the emotional demands of our work or a place of learning where we challenge ourselves to stretch our skills and understanding.
I've supervised in private practice, in voluntary organisations, in my training organisation and in a University counselling service, both individuals and groups. My supervisees have ranged from trainees to experienced therapists and have come from many different modalities.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
