Supervision

There is a general obligation for all counsellors, psychotherapists, supervisors and trainers to receive supervision/consultative support independently of any managerial relationships (BACP 2010).

I am a qualified and experienced supervisor of counsellors and to this end provide both qualified and trainee counsellors with the protection of quality supervision which adheres to the BACP ethical codes for supervisors to ensure safety of both supervisee/practitioner and client.

As a qualified supervisor I work in a supportive and developmental way and recognise my responsibility to protect clients from poor practice, ensuring the maintenance and enhancement of good practice by supervisee/practitioners to acquire the attitudes, skills and knowledge required by their role.

My aims are to maintain confidentiality unless there are risks of harm to supervisee/practitioner or others, (I will discuss my concerns beforehand with the supervisee/practitioner and may also seek further professional advice) and to help supervisees become better counsellors/therapists. Issues of a personal nature arising in supervision should be taken to personal therapy unless they can be dealt with by me through educational methods.

In keeping with the professional body guidelines I share my professional knowledge and practice for the benefit of my clients.

Fee for supervision

£45.00 for 1.5 hours payable at end of session unless otherwise agreed. A cancellation fee will be charged is less that 24 hours notice is given.
