Supervision details
I have been qualified for 20 year as a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist. I trained with the Arbours Association, and was on their Training Committee for many years, latterly as Chair of Training. I have taught on a variety of other UKCP, BCP and BACP trainings, including AGIP and the Site for Contemporary Psychoanalysis. In addition to teaching and supervising trainees, I have extensive experience of supervising counsellors and therapists within my role as Consultant Psychotherapist and Clinical Lead for Personality Disorders within Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust. I have a particular interest in working creatively with more acute emotional distress, and have experience of working with the arts and arts therapists. As well as individuals, I currently supervise teams within the NHS, Probation, Voluntary Sector and Criminal Justice system. I greatly enjoy supervision, and look to foster a supportive, collaborative and respectful mutual exchange.
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.
