Supervision details
I am an experienced Clinical Supervisor, person-centred therapist, EMDR practitioner, and couples therapist. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals and couples from a wide range of backgrounds, giving me a breadth of clinical experience that informs and enriches my supervision practice.
My approach to supervision is founded on the belief that practitioners deserve a professional space where they feel heard, understood, respected, and appropriately challenged. I strive to create a safe, reflective, and non-judgemental environment in which supervisees can openly explore their client work, professional development, ethical considerations, and clinical decision-making.
Alongside my work as a supervisor, I have specialist experience in trauma, EMDR, relationship and marriage counselling, and working with diverse cultural and faith communities. I am trained in the Gottman Method, a highly respected, research-based approach to strengthening relationships and improving communication between couples. I have also undertaken specialist training in Islamic concepts of working with adult children, marriage and relationship work, including professional training based United States.
My clinical experience includes working with couples from a wide range of cultural, faith, and personal backgrounds, including Muslim couples from diverse cultural backgrounds and Islamic schools of thought. This experience enables me to support supervisees in developing culturally responsive and ethically informed practice when working with clients from diverse communities.
My supervision work is grounded in the Seven-Eyed Model of Supervision developed by Hawkins and Shohet, offering a reflective, collaborative, and supportive space that promotes professional growth, clinical confidence and ethical practice. I work with both qualified counsellors and trainee practitioners who are committed to engaging in regular supervision and maintaining high standards of client care.
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.
