Karen Parsons

I am able to provide supervision to both individuals and my practice enables smalls groups of up to four people.  I am trained and work as a Humanistic Counsellor, predominantly as a Person-Centred modality.  I work collaboratively with a supervisee in sessions to help support self-reflective practice, client and self-care.

As a Supervisor I ensure I meet regularly with my supervisee.  I do not see myself as the expert in the room but is more a collaborator with the supervisee providing the space to support and challenge you sufficiently to enable you to explore further.  I gain great pleasure from watching my supervisee’s grown as they gain confidence and build on their knowledge and strengths. My role is to provide an environment in which the supervisee can be open to their experiences, identify areas where the supervisee would benefit from further training, recognising potential blind spots and assist the supervisee to rectify these.  

Supervision sessions are usually monthly and last for 1.5 hours for 1:1 sessions.  s. Group Supervision usually lasts for 2 hours, with each individual within the group having their own space to explore their individual understanding of themselves.  It also provides a space to share experiences.  I find Group supervision really rewarding.
