Dawn McHale

I provide clinical and creative supervision for individuals, groups and organisations. With an MA in Counselling/Consultative Supervision I can offer a focus on creative techniques in supervision, or integrate them into our working alliance.

My bases are South Bristol, or The Practice Rooms in Clifton, and I am also able to travel to organisational venues where necessary. Where availability is limited I am also able to offer telephone and online supervision. Having worked in mental health settings for over thirty years and in bereavement counselling for over 15 years, my training included a wide range of issues and facilitating a number of self-help groups on: bereavement, loss, abuse, stress management, relationships, gender, sexuality, self-harm, suicide, bullying, children, older people, pregnancy, miscarriage, abortion and vasectomy, and sexual health issues . I look forward to hearing from you to discuss your needs. I can also bring my experience of being a supervisor for Bristol Crisis Service for Women, for Bristol Mind, for PACT (Prison Service), Self-Injury Self-Help, RELATE Mid-Wiltshire, Off-The-Record, Bath and St Peter's Hospice over many years. I also have long-term experience of working with women who self-harm and women who have been raped and abused. 

I taught on a range of counselling courses including the Foundation Degree in Counselling, the Foundation Degree in Creative Therapies, the Foundation Degree in Working with Addiction, and Youth Work.

As a qualified and experienced counsellor working with children, young people and their families, I can offer supervision around issues in child and family counselling/therapy, and am a registered Play Therapy supervisor.

My fees are £45 per hour.
