Supervision details
Supervisors are responsible for providing opportunities for their supervisees to discuss any of their practice-related difficulties without blame or unjustified criticism and, when appropriate, to support their supervisees in taking positive actions to resolve those difficulties. I use the Seven-Eyed Supervision Model in collaboration with the Integrative Developmental Model (IDM). I will offer you both authoritative and facilitative interventions. I aim to provide regular and ongoing opportunities to reflect in depth about all aspects of your practice to work as effectively, safely, and ethically as possible. I will provide guidance for CPD if appropriate and will support you in working accurately within your counselling model, in managing your case load with attention to maintaining a healthy work/life balance and challenging any issues that affect you as an individual and that may impact your fitness to practice. I will assess and challenge your counselling practice and relationship with your clients with your wellbeing in mind. I will offer constructive feedback, challenge, and support in a safe place to process your client work.
We will work together to evaluate, plan, and set goals for client work, in accordance with your ethical code of practice. I will take notes and review regularly at 6 monthly intervals to assess the success of the supervision, and to adjust where necessary. We will always maintain a professional supervisor-supervisee relationship, in accordance with the BACP Code of Ethics and Practice.
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.
