Íø±¬ÃÅ

I am no longer accepting referrals.

I am a qualified and experienced counsellor and counselling supervisor and have been working for twenty seven years. I hold Íø±¬ÃÅ senior accreditations in counselling and supervision and am Íø±¬ÃÅ registered, which recognise the achievement of high standards of professionalism, knowledge, ethical practice, experience and development. As a member of Íø±¬ÃÅ, I abide by its Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions, hold professional indemnity insurance, and am committed to my ongoing personal and professional development.

My counselling work is underpinned and supported by many years of experience in the medical, academic, private, statutory and voluntary sectors. This is coupled with an in-depth knowledge and understanding of human psychology and breadth of experience gained through working with a wide range of clients’ concerns and problems.  I tailor my therapeutic approach to each client's particular character, situation and difficulty, offering a variety of approaches to help them. My work is highly regarded both by my clients and colleagues. Having helped clients, some return after several years with a new difficulty they would like help with. I feel very privileged to have met and supported many different people from various walks of life with their difficulties and challenges.

I have experience as a corporate trainer and have also designed and delivered courses to trainee and qualified counsellors, supervisors and other health-care professionals. I have extensive experience in curriculum design and examinations as well as writing and reviewing publications about therapy, supervision and personal development.

I am the author of various Íø±¬ÃÅ Good Practice in Action resources which are intended to support practitioners by providing information on good practice, principles and policy within the context of Íø±¬ÃÅ's Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions.  These resources cover topics such as supervision, the supervisory relationship, confidentiality, record-keeping, practitioner self-care, safe-working, fitness to practise, managing workload, accountability and candour, mental health and retirement from the counselling professions (see bacp.co.uk/gpia). I have also contributed articles to Therapy Today and provided ethical responses in its Dilemma column.

I am Senior Accredited both as Counsellor and Supervisor with 27 years’ experience across a wide range of clinical contexts. I have a Diploma in Supervision from Cascade and offer supervision to newly qualified, established and experienced practitioners who work with adult clients.

Within the safety of a collaborative supervisory relationship, I offer a balance of support, learning, understanding, encouragement and appropriately-placed challenge. This helps my supervisees further develop their professional knowledge and practical skills as well as maintain and build upon their ethical mindedness, decision-making and risk-management (all necessary in resolving practice dilemmas). Providing a 'safe harbour', my supervisees can also bring material from their practice and about themselves that may at times, feel very difficult for them.

I use the supervision model developed by Inskipp and Proctor encompassing the three supervisory tasks:

• Normative - ethical and best practice issues

• Formative - skills development and theoretical learning

• Restorative - practitioner wellbeing, resilience and self-care

If you are interested in finding out more about supervision with me, please email me. I offer a free, no obligation, 20 minute phone consultation that briefly give us both an opportunity to find out a bit more about each other and how we might work together.
