Supervision details
“Supervision provides the container that holds the helping relationship within the therapeutic triad” Hawkins and Shohet, 1989 I am a Supervisor and I hope to provide safety, structure and to manage any anxiety. I work in an integrative way from my training of Person Centred and Psycho-dynamic theory and with an understanding of Mindful CBT. I have a Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Supervision. I work independently and for the One to One Project with groups. I work face to face or on line. My Initial training was Person Centred with emphasis on Carl Rogers and after two years we then trained in Psychodynamic theory with emphasis on Freud and Jacobs (1998). After studying Clarkson I now use the five-relational Clarkson framework which provides an integrative framework (Clarkson 2003). This helps my understanding of psychodynamic transference and counter transference concepts and the humanistic approach of person centred theory. As a Supervisor I work with The 7 Eyed Model Inskip and Proctor 2001 being aware as a Supervisor when working with you of -

I work as a member of the BACP with their ethical framework which I believe is important when you may bring ethical dilemmas. The “BACP believes that supervision can positively contribute to the maintenance and development of ethical professional practice”. Supervisee say to me from the Supervision they feel a release and have a clearer mind , also the feeling of being energised to go back in with clients. The relationship is Key for us working together. I offer supervision to individuals or groups, to qualified or trainee counsellors and psychotherapists.
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.
