Supervision details
I have been a clinical supervisor for over 15 years, and offer supervision to qualified and trainee counsellors/psychotherapists, both individually and group in person and online.
My supervision training was integrative, and my approach reflects that, drawing on ideas from humanistic and psychodynamic traditions. My supervision practice is underpinned by the ideas of Hawkins & Shohet's 7 Eyed Model, and Proctor & Inskipp's Cascade model. In 2023, I updated my training, gaining a Diploma in Face-to-Face, Blended & Online Supervision, to ensure that my current Supervision practice is appropriate to online provision. I aim to provide a safe space for practitioners to explore all aspects of their clinical work, without judgment yet always with the client's best interest as imperative. My aim is to enable clinical potency and resilience in a supportive, restorative and ethical environment. I am able to offer creative methods to explore issues presented in supervision, and this is always invitational. I work to the UKCP Supervision Policy, which states:
"Supervision is understood as a reflective and evaluative process conducted within an articulated working relationship between a qualified or trainee psychotherapeutic practitioner and an appropriately knowledgeable supervisor.The purposes of supervision are: 1) To underpin and promote reflective and informed practice .2) As a result, to underpin and support best practice in a way that is beneficial to both practitioners and service-users."
You are most welcome to contact me for an informal chat if you would like to know more about my approach. I offer reduced fees for trainee and newly qualified counsellors.
