Supervision details
I offer verbal supervision for psychoanalytic psychotherapy work whether in a counselling or an analytic framework. I completed the COSCA approved training for supervisors at Edinburgh University in the Counseling and Psychotherapy department. I offer individual supervision for professionals and students working with adults: I supervise counseling students for the University of Edinburgh Counseling and Psychotherapy training courses.
My focus is on thinking about a client or supervisee with the practitioner: in the case of trainee counsellors this will include support in the training process (eg finding ones' own style within the clinical process) as well as thinking about themes, wider issues brought by the therapist and questions around process and relationships in the counselling room. With experienced therapists, the work may not be as wide ranging though the analytic framework will underpin whatever thinking we do about the respective client.
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.
