Supervision details
I have considerable experience as a supervisor, with individuals and groups. I took a course in supervision in 2005 with the British Association of Psychotherapists and a Diploma in supervision in 2012 at WPF (London). I am a member of BAPPS. As well as offering supervision to those working with adults, my long experience working in a Child and Adolescent Mental Health Team equips me to offer supervision to those who work with children and young people.My model of working is Psychodynamic but I am happy to supervise Counsellors and Psychotherapists who use, for example an Integrative or other allied model. I believe that group supervision can be an especially enriching experience and am looking to set up a supervision group. I would be pleased to hear from anyone who is interested in joining such a group.Do contact me to arrange a preliminary meeting to discuss either individual or group supervision.
