Supervision details
As a clinical supervisor I aim to offer a holding space in which to feel and think out loud about your work with clients.
I believe supervision offers a positive means of providing support, developing and maintaining good standards of practice as well as monitoring blind spots and training needs. It is a collaborative and purposeful process to expand my supervisees understanding and skills within their practice.
Phenomenologically speaking, the supervisory relationship may be more adequately described by the term ‘relatedness’ i.e. how the supervisor and supervisee relate to themselves, each other, the client and in turn to others in the world. These relational realms become apparent within supervision. By exploring, reflecting and processing your feelings, assumptions, views and values, as well as the clients’, greater clarity can be realized about the therapeutic relationship.
I am an UKCP and EAP registered Existential psychotherapist and have worked with many supervisees from an Integrative stance at a number of organisations. I have also supervised many groups of students enrolled on the doctoral programmes at The New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling for over 20 years.
Wherever you are on your career path I can provide an open and flexible attitude to supervision, at a frequency to suit your professional needs. I work online, via Zoom, Skype or telephone. Sessions last 50 mins – Fee £90- with a 48 hours notice cancellation policy.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
