Supervision details
Thank you for visiting the supervision section of my profile - a very warm welcome.
I supervise both qualified and trainee counsellors and psychotherapists and offer either online or in person sessions. Supervision can take place either fortnightly or monthly, or weekly if required. My consulting room is in a dedicated space at my home, close to the Metropolitan Line and with available parking.
I can also offer supervision for those in other helping, front-line professions such as coaches, teachers, nurses and support workers to help emotionally unburden their workload, increase resilience and learn new ways of working. It's considered good practice for any school or front-line agency to have monthly supervision for their staff.
Why work with me?
As a supervisor I really enjoy working collaboratively and creatively to help support your work as a counsellor or psychotherapist. I aim to provide a safe and warm space where you can reflect on your practice and recharge your batteries, and where challenge and support are equally balanced to create invigorating and empowering supervision. I really enjoy trusting my supervisees process, nurturing their intuition and valuing their qualities, and seeing their skills develop - I will always tailor my knowledge and experience to whatever degree you need it.
Supervision is a space for sharing and learning in equal measure. Fundamentally it is a place to attend to your wellbeing as a practitioner and develop your own style as an ethical and resilient therapist.
My background and training...
My background is integrative/transpersonal, and I use this knowledge, training and experience in my supervision work. I hold an OCN Certificate in Counselling Supervision (Level 5) and am currently undergoing another certificate in supervision with the CTSD as I wanted to specifically train with Robin and Joan Shohet and deepen my skills further.
I have over 15 years experience as a psychotherapist and am trained in the psychodynamic, humanistic (client-centred, Gestalt, TA), existential and transpersonal approaches (see here for further details). I have a Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy (Level 7) and a Certificate in Cyber Therapy for my online work, so if your practice is online, we can explore your work from an online theoretical perspective too.
My experience and specialisms are broad. I am trauma-informed and related to this and EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) accredited practitioner having trained extensively in this somatic therapy, and am also IFS-informed (Internal Family Systems).
I am a UKCP registrant and member of the BACP, ACTO (Association for Counselling and Therapy Online) and an accredited member of EFT International.
Theoretically, I work with the following models of supervision:
- CLEAR (Hawkins)
- Seven-Eyed Model (Hawkins and Shohet)
- Formative-Restorative-Normative (Inskipp and Proctor)
How much does supervision cost?
- 50 minutes - £60
- 90 minutes - £90
If you would like to work with me, I offer a free 30 minute chat to establish what you are looking for in a supervisor and to make sure we are going to be a good fit working together. I will send you my working agreement prior to this meeting as this forms the basis for our discussion.
Get in touch by calling me on 07985 541 213 or emailing me at sarahhanison@yahoo.co.uk. For further information about me please see here or my website.
I look forward to working with you.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
