Supervision details

I have been enjoying supervising fellow counsellors/psychotherapists from both my own training institute (Karuna Institute) and from other modalities, including  humanistic, integrative and psychospiritual for over twenty five years. I am on UKCP's  registered supervisors list.I have supervised many trainees from their first clients through to graduation and accreditation and supported experienced therapists through their re-accreditation obligations. I also offer non managerial support to people working in the statutory and voluntary sectors.In the past I have helped develop peer supervision process groups in both the Education sector and for the Police Authority. 
Each supervision session I work to a simple structure of firstly giving space and time for exploration of these questions 'How are you and what are your resources feeling like right now. This allows you space and time for the recent personal and encourages you to become more embodied and present. Then secondly giving space and time for 'Where are you as a counsellor/therapist? ' This may involve contemplation on the various aspects/phases of working as a therapist and then thirdly the majority of time is spent on 'What do you want/need to bring to further deepen your client work? This might involve asking yourself what your clients or even future clients  would want you to bring to supervision.To explore client work I am experienced in using a contemplative supervision process called Body Speech Mind which was developed at the Naropa Institute in Denver Colorado. This approach starts with a descriptive/observational exploration of the client which brings the client directly into the room and grounds the supervisee in the humanity of their client before using this as a base to move on to explore  together the issues and questions that the supervisee is wanting to bring and explore.A more recent learning edge is to use an Integral lens to enforce map the exploration in supervision sessions. This is informed from the work of the philosopher Ken Wilber. If this interests you too please mention this when contacting me.I am happy to do some supervision sessions by telephone or through an encrypted video conferencing platform along side face to face supervision when safe to do so.

I am in the process of setting up some small  group contemplative /creative supervision groups So do get in touch if you are interested to broaden your supervision experience.

I also offer Supervision of Supervisors

If you having relatively recently qualified as a supervisor you might benefit  from being in a new supervisors group. Let me know if this interests you as this is a new area I am developing.
