Supervision details
With over 30 years experience and a Post Qualification Diploma in Individual Supervision, I offer supervision for Counsellors, Psychotherapists and those in related professions. I am available for face to face, online and group supervision within the context of the UKCP Ethical framework. My supervision modality is Integrative, informed by the conscious content of the session, as well as paying particular attention to unconscious processes operating in the patient–therapist dyad. In doing so, the aim is to both provide opportunities for understanding and reflection, as well as discussing strategies as how best to use such insights in the service of the work, and to ensure good practice and patient safety. I consider the supervision relationship to be collaborative based on equality, mutual trust and respect of difference. It is a place to process feelings and learning, growth, professional development, an opportunity to build on strengths and to work on learning edges. It is intended to be normative, formative and restorative. For trainee therapists, qualified counsellors and psychotherapists, clinical supervision is one of the most effective ways for experiential learning about the art and science of counselling and psychotherapy and is a requirement for many trainings.
