Professional Experience

With 14 years of practice, I have gained valuable experience as an Integrative counsellor, which has naturally led me to develop and become a clinical supervisor. My journey in the field has been diverse, working with both adults and children in various settings, including charitable organizations and my private practice. Through this, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and nationalities who have faced significant mental health challenges. Although my specialism as a therapist is Trauma, I have also addressed and managed a wide array of issues.

My Approach
Supervision Process
Supervision, to me, is an extension of the therapeutic process and most importantly, a safe space where you can share and reflect on your experiences and your clients, to enhance your practice. My approach is centered around us working together to maximize our supervisory relationship.

Models Utilized
I employ the Proctor model, which encompasses normative (managerial), formative (educational), and restorative (supporting and relating) aspects. Additionally, I utilize reflection through the 7-eyed model (Hawkins and Shohet), allowing us to explore what is brought into the sessions and within our supervisory relationship.

Focus Areas
Our focus areas include:

·       The client - strategies and interventions

·       Relationships

·       Personal impact

·       Internal processes

·       Wider context - organizational, cultural, and ethical issues

Objectives
Our aims are to develop and enhance your practice while being mindful of your well-being as a therapist. I can facilitate supervision for counsellors, psychotherapists, mental health workers, and other skilled support professionals. Together, we will work towards maximizing your potential and providing the best possible support for your clients.

I work with qualified Counsellors, mental health professionals and student counsellors.

I offer discount for student counsellors and also offer support in setting up in private practice..  Please ask for details

My Fees are as follows;

£50 per hour supervision

£65 per 1 1/2 hour supervision

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

DBS check info

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
