Supervision details

I have 15 years of counselling experience, with adults, children and young people, in a range of environments: community charitable agencies, independent fee-paying schools, independent schools (for those unable to attend mainstream education), as well as private practice.

I am an accredited and registered counsellor with the ACC – Association of Christians in Counselling, and am qualified in CBT Counselling and Children & Young People’s Counselling.  I offer an integrative counselling approach.

I am qualified in Clinical Supervision from the University of Derby and have experience supervising counsellors and pastoral professionals working in private practice, in schools, and for the third sector.

I work according to the Discrimination Model of Supervision (Bernard), but also find CBT approaches of collaborative agenda-setting, and ongoing review and evaluation to be beneficial.

I am passionate about the value of individual supervision to enable professionals a safe space for reflective practice, and to support you to develop according to your interests, strengths and goals.

Do get in touch, to enquire about clinical supervision and how I can support you in your work and development.

My fees are £60 per hour for Clinical Supervision, online or in-person

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

ACC
Association of Christians in Counselling and Linked Professions (ACC)

The organisation is made up of various different membership categories, including Counsellor and Accredited, and requires all members working as counsellors to undertake Continuous Professional Development on a regular basis.
