Supervision details

If you are looking for a professional and friendly supervisor to support you, I would like to help via Zoom. I am qualified and experienced as a supervisor to level 7. I offer individual or small-group supervision. 

My primary approaches these days are CBT, EMDR and Person-Centred work. I have an MSc in psychology. I also practice as a hypnotherapist business and life coach and am a teacher/trainer for hypnotherapists and counsellors to level 5.

I'm a retired nurse and have had my own business, Awaken the Change,  for over 17 years. I do mainly brief work, although I do have some long-term clients.

I specialise in anxiety issues and bereavement and loss. I worked for Cruse as a bereavement counsellor, supervisor and trainer for about 13 years.

I do not counsel young children or families.

I also provide supervision and mentoring for other therapists and hypnotherapists.

In addition, if you need support with your business, getting more clients and personal development, I can help with that as well because I'm also a mentor, coach and trainer. I run affordable CPD training events for therapists in Bournemouth or online.  I have also published a book called CPD Made Easy: 55 Ways to Continuing Professional Development for Therapists and the Helping Professionals. You can find this on Amazon.

I love to help people to reduce stress and learn. My recent book, Teenager Exam Stress: A Parents Survival Guide, reached Amazon's top 100 best sellers in its category.

If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.
