Supervision details
My Theoretical and Supervisory Approach
My approach is integrative with leanings towards humanistic, systemic and attachment-focused ideas. I also incorporate ideas from CBT, psychodynamic ideas (in particular around containment and internal worlds) and existential and person-centred approaches. I have experience offering supervision within Social Care/NHS placements as well as privately.
My therapeutic approach is to offer clients a space that is their own to work on the things they want to change or to accept the things that they cannot. It is not about me being the expert who knows how to fix their problems but helping them to find their own answers and resolutions through paying careful attention to their values, beliefs and thoughts and helping them to uncover multiple perspectives.
Supervising Trainee Therapists
As a trainee, I found my supervision with my external supervisor was an invaluable safe and non-judgemental place where I could consider the development of my professional identity. I would often find that life felt quite fragmented between placements, work and training. Supervision was a space where I could feel more whole. As a supervisor, I would aim to offer a similar experience and help you to consider issues you are exploring as a trainee therapist.
What to expect
The first step in working together, either in a supervisory or therapeutic relationship, would involve meeting for an assessment session. The aim of the session will be to establish whether you feel comfortable and happy to work together, and for me to assess whether I can provide the support you need. You may wish to see more than one psychologist to find the right therapist/supervisor and this session will help you determine what will best meet your needs as a trainee. I believe supervision is a space to learn and reflect on your practice and a space to feel held and contained as a therapist. It is as important in the supervision relationship as the therapist-client relationship that you feel comfortable and that there is trust and openness so that it can become a space which is nurturing, stimulating and reflective.
Location
The consulting rooms I use are in South Woodford, E18, and offer a private and comfortable space. There is free parking opposite or the location is a short walk from South Woodford Underground station (Central line). Disabled access is available if required.
Fees
My usual supervision fee for qualified practitioners is 90.00 per session (including assessment/introduction session). I also offer reduced rates for personal therapy/supervision needed for trainees as part of their course requirements. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your specific requirements.
The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
