I have extensive experience of working with  patients (since 1984) and am familiar with the technical aspects of working with patients -working with and in the Transference-seeing where earlier significant figures and the person's responses and ways of seeing and feeling are  being re-evoked unconsciously in the person's life NOW and in relation to the therapist in the 'here and now'. I think it is important to find each person's potential through encouragement and challenge.Similarly it is essential to find the self -defeating,undermining and unconfident parts  in the patient and supervisee and understand these through empathy and challenge.Because I have a range of Training experience: Humanistic (Rogerian,Gestalt and TA-Transactional analysis) and Psychoanalytic/psychodynamic-I am able to think and work with material in a range of ways and help the supervisee to think more clearly and confidently.I have experience of working with colleagues in a long term peer group supervision group (Since 1992) where we present cases/ patients or issues about working as a therapist individually ,in rotation.This peer group approach allows us to experience 'being in supervision' which can often be difficult,  and being the Supervisor among a group of Supervisors who are all thinking and responding to the individual presentation.I am currently in supervision with Dr Tirril Harris,in London who has major experience in Attachment Theory research.I currently supervise a range of therapists working psychodynamically,and humanistically-including Gestalt approaches)I am registered and listed with UKCP with  recognised Supervisor qualifications ('grandparented' by my Member organisation FIP -The  Forum for Independent Psychotherapists).
