Supervision details
I have a Diploma in Integrative Supervision of Individuals and Groups and have worked with groups of trainees on counselling training programmes, as well as currently working as a group supervisor for a charity. I work with both small groups and individual trainees and qualified therapists in private practice.
My initial therapeutic training was integrative-relational and I have since completed my master's in advanced clinical practice, relational psychoanalysis, which is also integrative and relational in nature and considers contemporary approaches. Over the years I've completed CPD in several different areas such as: trauma; attachment; developmental perspectives; GSRD; neurodivergence; and bodymind, amongst others. While my theoretical learning informs how I work in supervision, the relationship is by far the most important element - the relationship between therapist and client, and the relationship between supervisor and therapist.
I use Hawkins and Shohet's seven-eyed model when working in supervision. What this means is that I hold the client at the centre of the work while considering a variety of elements:
- the client's situation and experience
- interventions used by the therapist
- the relationship between the therapist and the client
- the therapist's own experience and countertransference
- parallel-process - what's being mirrored from the therapeutic relationship in the supervisory relationship
- my own countertransference
- the wider context
I work both in-person and online and my fee is £70 per 50-minute session.
I'm a Metanoia approved supervisor and am on the UKCP supervisor directory.
