Supervision details

Edinburgh Based

Supervision

I graduated with a Diploma in Supervision from Wealdon Psychology Institute in Sussex in 2013.

My approach is underpinned by Bradley's Principles, Practice & Process approach. In this approach the Supervisor takes the role of Counsellor, Teacher & Consultant with the Supervisee. For me, it is fundamental that Supervisees find me accessible, warm, encouraging and supportive and never shaming or critical. Supervision should nurture your internal locus of evaluation and facilitate the growth of your Internal Supervisor. My role is to help you find your own way forwards. You are the expert on your unique model of therapy and the relationships you form within that and my role is to respect this. I will share my own experiences with you, offer a space for development, use theory and concepts from literature and model my own way of working whilst looking for any potential blind-spots such as parallel process or vicarious trauma, to keep you safe.

I have provided supervision in agencies, in public institutions, charities and to private practice therapists. I also have extensive experience of working with students and newly qualified counsellors.

Supervision fees can be flexible:

£120.00 for 1.5hrs

£80.00 for 1 hr

£90.00 for 1.5 hrs (student rate)

£60.00 for 1 hr (student rate)

I am not currently facilitating any supervision groups but if there is interest I would be happy to consider this. Group supervision costs around £35 with a minumum of 30 minutes per group member.

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.
