'Make Moves Towards Solutions' Supervision I am qualified to offer professional one to one or group supervision face to face for counsellors, counsellors in training and other professions. For those who are in training and seeking supervision for accreditation purposes we will need to discuss what criteria will be needed for your awarding body.  For example, the BPS require counsellors to have a minimum amount of supervision to the amount of clients you are seeing per month i.e. 1 hour of supervision to 6 clients.  The BACP require a minimum of 90 minutes supervision per month.  We can discuss your needs when you telephone me on 07786073898 and negotiate fees and hours before you proceed with supervision.  I do not carry out e-mail supervision as most awarding bodies do not accept this as an acceptable means of supervision. As a member of the BPS I am bound by their Code of Ethics and it's Complaints Procedure and as such have to have my own ongoing supervision, which I have on a fortnightly basis. As a supervisor I would be obliged to take action if your practice is unethical but would consult and approach you first before any action is taken.  The purpose of supervision is to ensure the efficacy of the counsellor/client relationship and is a formal arrangement by the supervisee and supervisor to enable us to discuss your client cases on a regular basis. If you are interested in supervision, the next step would be to have a supervision contract which includes fees, hours, emergency contact, review of progress, caseload, case presentation, client responsibility, supervisor concerns, confidentiality, supervisor accountability and grievances. The contract would also contain items specific to your individual needs. If you are interested in receiving supervision please either telephone 07786073898 or e-mail me debs@freedom-counselling.co.uk
