Supervision details
I host a twice monthly, supervision group for HCPC-registered art psychotherapists. I also offer weekly, individual supervision.
Supervision is a confidential space to talk, reflect and think about your therapy work. The aim is to ensure client welfare and support your ongoing development as a therapist. Its centres your work and the people you are working with. Context matters, so we are also often thinking about spaces, group dynamics and the world we are finding ourselves in. Ethical decision making and practice is at heart.
Through the sharing of experiences, we are deepening our understanding and learning in meaningful conversation. I encourage creative responses and we can make art within the supervision process - if you want to.
I welcome conversations about how the work and trainings affects you professionally and personally. Supervision isn't a tick-box exercise. It is a valuable and nourishing space that supports the work of psychotherapists in a sustainable way.
For community organisations, supervision can help to ensure that your work is trauma-informed. It provides reflective space, offers an additional safeguarding measure, supports learning and helps prevent burnout.
The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
