All
accredited psychological therapists have a supervision requirement in
their code of ethics. Supervision is recognised as both invaluable and
essential, however experienced the therapist. Mentoring is now a requirement
for all AAMET registered practitioners.
Supervision or mentoring is important to a practising therapist in a
number of different ways. It allows the therapist access to a more experienced
practitioner who can offer support with cases, identify skill gaps and
give guidance regarding additional training. Support can also be given
with management and administration issues in the therapists practice. Most
importantly, mentoring can offer a safe and comfortable place for the therapist
to explore issues that may be coming up for them in their therapeutic work
(known as countertransference). Recognising when clients “push
our buttons” helps us to keep our stuff out of the therapy room,
not as easy as it might sound! Supervision and mentoring are carried out
in an atmosphere of mutual respect and empathy.

MENTORING GROUP IN LONDON, November 10th 2012 and March 2nd 2013 :
Richard and Judy will be running our next one day mentoring group in Central London (venue to be confirmed) on November 10th. The day offers practitioners the opportunity to present cases to the group for discussion and feedback and to share successful cases with the group. For part of the day we will also be offering help and guidance on practice building.
Richard
and Judy have a wealth of experience to offer to help practitioners build
a successful, professional and ethical practice. There will also be time
for general questions, and it should be an interesting and informative
day.
The cost for the day is £97, please contact Richard on info@eft-academy.co.uk if
