Laura Ann Douglas

Qualified Supervisor

I would describe my supervisory style as a psychologically integrative approach to promote insight and reflection. I help to identify choices and responsibilities to provide an environment for growth and change.

Supervision is specifically tailored to meet the needs of supervisees and their clients. My own ('home-base') core modalities, include person-centred, transactional analysis, CBT, NLP and psycho-educational models.

I achieve self-management through personal responsibility in record keeping and continued professional development. Comprehensive understanding and application of the BACP code of Ethics and Good Practice. On going supervised practice.

I have a sound knowledge of the local referral network.

Key accomplishments:

• Teaching the Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy

• Teaching the Diploma for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

• Designed and delivered workshops for CPD to peers and colleagues.  

                                                            SUPERVISION MODELS

Supervision models I like to use include the Pluralist Model (Cooper & McCleod), and also the Seven Eyed Model (Hawkins & Shohet). For instance, as with the latter model, key areas addressed within supervision include:  

• Mode 1 Practice
• Mode 2 Clinical intervention
• Mode 3 System and co-creative dance
• Mode 4 Therapists Counter Transference 
• Mode 5 Parallel Process
• Mode 6 The Counter Transference for the Supervisor
• Mode 7 The Wider Context - The Organisational mode
