Shirley Kent Senior Accredited Counsellor & Approved Supervisor

About Me

I am a National Counselling Society Approved Supervisor and Senior Accredited Counsellor. I have  a Level 7, Advanced Diploma in Counselling Supervision and an Advanced Diploma in Counselling. 

About my Supervisory work

My supervisory work is facilitated through my mainly person-centred approach and my appreciation of the benefits of other supervision models, supportive to a supervisee’s good professional practice.

The person – centred supervisory approach recognises each supervisee as an individual, providing you with an opportunity to express yourself as a whole person, in a confidential and supportive environment without fear of judgement. 

I aim to offer you  an opportunity to explore your client work, to support you in your learning, self-development and effectiveness, ensuring that you are working ethically and professionally. I offer an environment of openness and integrity where you can consult me, confidentially, on all aspects of your counselling work, receive constructive feedback and recharge your batteries.

I adhere to the NCS Code of Ethics and have an appreciation of the ethical codes of other professional counselling bodies.

Who I work with

I supervise counsellors at various levels of professional development, including student counsellors, and provide group supervision to counsellors working in other professional settings. Additionally, I provide supervision to non – counselling professionals and organisations.

I only work with counselling professionals who are members of a professional body. 

Sessions

I offer a free of charge, no obligation, preliminary 1.5-hour discussion which provides us with an opportunity to review how we might best work together. 

Thereafter, supervision is normally monthly,  for a 1.5 hour duration, dependent upon your personal and professional requirements, as agreed in the preliminary discussion. 

Supervision sessions are by telephone or Zoom video conferencing. During the current health situation face to face supervision in Taunton is temporarily suspended.
