Supervision details
As an experienced, qualified therapist, I understand how vital a safe, robust, and stimulating supervisory relationship is to your clinical practice. I provide a supportive, collaborative, and non-judgmental space where both qualified practitioners and trainees can reflect deeply on their work, protect their well-being, and grow professionally.
My approach is integrative, meaning I adapt my supervision style to match your specific theoretical modality, experience level, and learning goals.
My Supervision Model: The Seven-Eyed Model
In my practice, I utilize Hawkins and Shohet’s Seven-Eyed Model of supervision. This systemic framework allows us to step back and look at your practice through multiple lenses:
• The Client: Focusing on the client’s presentation and history.
• The Interventions: Reflecting on the techniques and strategies you use.
• The Relationship: Exploring the conscious and unconscious dynamics between you and your client.
• The Therapist (You): Looking at your internal responses, countertransference, and well-being.
• The Supervisory Relationship: Evaluating the parallel process and dynamics happening between us.
• The Supervisor (Me): Utilizing my own internal reflections and observations to guide you.
• The Wider System: Considering the impact of organizational, cultural, and ethical contexts.
By exploring these seven distinct areas, we ensure that your practice remains ethically sound, relationally rich, and securely grounded.
Working with Trainees
I am highly passionate about supporting trainee counsellors. I understand the unique pressures of balancing coursework, placement hours, and clinical anxieties. I provide a nurturing environment where you can safely explore mistakes, build your therapeutic identity, and prepare for qualification.
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.
