Support for Members
Supporting Members Through Complaints
At the British Society of Clinical Hypnotherapy and Integrative Psychotherapy (BSCHIP), we understand that receiving a complaint can be a challenging and stressful experience. Our commitment is to support our members with guidance and resources to help you navigate the process effectively and professionally.
Immediate Steps to Take
1.Consult Your Clinical Supervisor
Reach out to your clinical supervisor as soon as possible. They can offer immediate support, guidance, and insights into the implications of the complaint.
2. Contact Your Insurer
Notify your insurer about the complaint promptly. Many insurance policies include access to counselling services, which can be invaluable during this time. If you are already working with a therapist, continue seeking their support as needed.
3.Leverage Your Support Network
Your support network, including colleagues, friends, family, and peer support groups, can provide both emotional and practical assistance. Don’t hesitate to lean on these connections.
4.Review the BSCHIP Complaints Process
Familiarise yourself with the BSCHIP Complaints Process to understand what to expect and how to respond effectively.
Additional Support Resources
Therapeutic Support: If you are not currently seeing a therapist, consider arranging sessions to help you cope with the emotional impact of the complaint.
Peer Support Groups: Connecting with peers who share similar professional experiences can offer solidarity and practical advice.
Our goal is to ensure that you feel supported and equipped to manage this situation professionally while safeguarding your well-being.
