Supervision is an integral aspect of counselling and psychotherapy practice. It has to be engaged in for amount of hours required by your accrediting body/member organisation and the amount needed increases if you are a successful therapist with many clients and a demanding or challenging case load. So the supervisory relationship itself is at the core, at the very heart of your professional practice.
It is a consultative, collaborative relationship which enables greater awareness and enhances insight and understanding around your client work but also helps to ensure that self care and well-being are integral to your counselling practice. What is considered to be the 'right' supervision will vary from therapist to therapist and the way that you work or would like to work will obviously be hugely influential.
It is a professional relationship with boundaries and structure and should be provided by someone with greater experience and appropriate training. However, the process of finding a supervisor is not unlike finding the right therapist to work with and is not only about credentials and what looks 'good' on paper.

My fee for supervision is 50 an hour, I charge 70 for 1.5 hours monthly supervision for self funded therapists in private practice.
I will consider a concessionary rate for newly qualified counsellors for a negotiated period of time, please ask about this if you want to be considered for a reduced rate.
BACP Accreditation : Supervision Groups of four or less, claim half the time; two 90 minute groups needed monthly for each member to claim one and a half hours supervision each.
Fees for Group supervision fees are negotiated according to numbers in group and duration/frequency.
