Supervision details
Hi, I’m Abigail. I’m a counsellor and clinical supervisor offering online supervision to counsellors and others working in the helping professions.
My supervision style is collaborative, reflective and down-to-earth. There’s space to explore the work you’re doing, your professional development, the impact the role may be having on you, and the practical side of your role where that’s relevant.
My background includes several years within EAP services, across operational, clinical and affiliate roles. This means I understand both the value and the unique challenges that can come with this way of working, from both the organisational and therapist side. I particularly enjoy supporting EAP helpline and affiliate counsellors.
I built my own private practice as a newly qualified counsellor, so I understand what it can feel like to be finding your feet as a therapist while also figuring out the business side of private practice. I really value supporting counsellors who are setting up, returning to private practice, or wanting to develop a practice that feels sustainable and realistic for them.
I hold a Level 7 PgCert in Supervision in Counselling, Psychotherapy and Helping Relationships, alongside a Level 5 Diploma in Trauma-Informed Counselling Practice and a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.
I can work with you from a purely person-centred perspective, or take a more integrative approach depending on your way of working. My core training is person-centred, and further qualifications and training have given me a broader range of approaches to draw on where appropriate.
My supervision is mainly informed by the Seven-Eyed Model, and I also draw on the Cyclical Model. I use these flexibly to help us explore the client work, the therapeutic relationship, your development and the wider context around the work.
If you’d like to explore whether we might be a good fit for supervision, feel free to get in touch. We can arrange a free 15-minute introductory call to talk about what you’re looking for, how I work, and any practical questions you may have.
Prices:
60 minutes - £60
90 minutes - £75
I offer a reduced rate for trainee counsellors - £60 for 90 minutes.
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.
