Dot Lawrence: Specialises in Anxiety, Stress & Confidence/ Self Esteem

Chalkwell SS0 & Leigh-on-sea SS9

Hi I am Dot Lawrence.

I offer supervision for trainee and qualified counsellors.

I am a BACP registered integrative Counsellor and a trained Supervisor.

I have over 20 years experience working for BT PLC as a Business Improvement Consultant, Senior Marketing Manager and Skills Development Manager. My responsibilities included;-

- mentoring other managers

- skill development/ performance management

- one to one staff counselling

- conflict resolution

- managing difficult circumstances

- strategic planing

In addition, I have worked with a women's refuge, a local adult counselling charity and social services (London Borough of Ealing and Southend). I currently have my own Counselling practice near Chalkwell Park SS0 8NR offering Counselling and Supervision services.

"Understanding" that supervision as defined by the BACP is a specialised form of professional mentoring that is provided for practitioners who are responsible for undertaking challenging work with people; I believe that the combination of my career with BT and my counselling training/experience has provided me with the necessary skill set to provide other Counsellors with professional supervision for their client work.

My approach is to provide a service that is;-

1. Normative/Managerial – involves issues connected to professional and ethical guidelines, norms, laws, standards of practice and competence, e.g.
discussion about data protection.
2. Formative/Educational – involves skills, theoretical knowledge, e.g. the teaching of a stress management technique.
3. Restorative/Supportive – involves recharging batteries, dis-identification from the emotional charge of client work or managing life crises whilst
still working, e.g. discussions about the impact of trauma work on the
practitioner.

Accessibility

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.
