Supervisor Lisa Mass MBACP (Snr. Accred)

About me

I have worked as a counsellor for 30 years, in a variety of settings, including as a Macmillan Professional and also for hospices, schools, charities, agencies & private practice. I have experience of working with young children, teenagers, adults and families. My modality is Integrative.

I have supervised counsellors, and health & education professionals for many years now, both individually and in groups. Currently I offer supervision to qualified practitioners who work in settings such as private practice, hospices & the NHS. I also supervise counselling supervisors.

In addition, I offer non-managerial supervision to professionals in the fields of counselling,  health & education, who wish to reflect on & develop their professional role.

How I see supervision

I see supervision as an opportunity for you to do a range of things that may, depending on your role, include the following:

·        Offload case material

·        Reflect on practice or work setting

·        Link theory to practice

·        Identify difficulties and explore ways forward (this may be case-related or organisational)

·        Recognise when own issues are impacted by or impacting on work, and identify 

         appropriate courses of action        

·        Recognise & celebrate good practice

·        Identify areas for professional development

·        Consider self-care

My hope

Following a supervision session, I hope you will feel you have been supported, and that you take something away with you.

This may be:

• a renewed energy
• greater insight into your own process, your  clients' process and the work you are doing together
• ideas or increased clarity of how you might  work with clients or supervisees going forward
• insight into organisational dynamics, and relationships with colleagues

If you are looking for a new supervisor, you are welcome to contact me to discuss the possibility of us working together, so that we can determine whether we would be a good fit.
