Supervision details
Supervision is a significant and passionate part of my professional practice. As with counselling I am drawn to a relational way of working and hope that my supervision can offer an ethical and structured opportunity for you to explore your client work and deepen your understanding of yourself as a counsellor. Research suggests supervision is an essential part of therapeutic practice, particularly the need of ‘being held in relationship’ (McMahon 2014 p10) and I enjoy building a collaborative, authentic relationship with supervisees working at all stages of professional development.
I am a Professional Accredited Member of the National Counselling Society and work in accordance with the NCPS code of ethics and the BACP Ethical Framework. I have a successful private practice offering counselling and supervision. My life experience and working background is broad and diverse holding roles within different charities/agencies supporting people from all walks of life including the position of Core Counsellor and Clinical Lead for a local charity supporting young people and adults.
My training includes – Diploma in Supervision (Advanced NCS approved, Level 7), Diploma (Level 7) in Counselling Children and Young People, FdSc (Distinction) in Counselling from the University of Gloucestershire, Certificate in Pastoral Counselling Skills from Network Training. I have also completed the Transactional Analysis 101 course and qualified with Cruse Bereavement Care as a Bereavement Volunteer. I work relationally within an integrative therapeutic approach and draw primarily on Inskipp and Proctor’s Functional Model and Hawkins & Shohet’s Seven Eyed Model of Supervision to hold, explore and develop your practice.
My fees are: £55 per hour for qualified Counsellors and £45 per hour for Counselling students.
