Supervision details
I am a UKCP Accredited Integrative Psychotherapist and Qualified Supervisor, having undertaken the Clinical Diploma of Supervision with the Sherwood Psychotherapy Institute in Nottingham. This course is UKCP accredited and I am currently waiting for my UKCP accreditation as a supervisor to be processed (expected by August 2026).
I am able to offer individual or group supervision to trainee counsellors / psychotherapists and qualified counsellors / psychotherapists of any modality. I am also able to offer supervision to other related professions within the caring sector e.g. teachers, social workers, healthcare workers, coaches etc.. I have experience supervising people who are working towards qualification and also qualified psychotherapists of various modalities. I also have experience of supervising lifestyle / wellbeing coaches.
As a supervisor I carry with me the philosophy that underpins my practice as an integrative psychotherapist. I hold an awareness of the importance of our individuality and my approach recognises this, by offering flexibility dependent on the individuals needs (both the therapist I am working with and the client(s) they are bringing). As well as focussing on what is happening in the here and now, I also hold a curiosity about the unconscious processes which are present within both the therapeutic and supervisory relationship and what these unconscious processes may be trying to communicate to us as the therapist or supervisor. I utilise a relational / developmental approach and I tend to integrate aspects of transactional analysis, play therapy, attachment theory, gestalt and object relations. I believe that supervision is a place where we should be able to discuss all aspects of our work without fear of judgement or embarrassment and I aim to provide a space that provides this.
Please get in touch if you feel that you might like to work with me as a supervisor and we can discuss further. My email is admin@kirstymurraypsychotherapy.com and my phone number is 0775 9953798.
I charge £60 per hour of supervision.
