Supervision details
Hello and a very warm welcome to my supervision profile. I am an experienced clinical supervisor offering supervision to:
- Individuals
- Groups
I am able to supervise adult client work and I have specific therapeutic qualifications that enable me to supervise the practice of children and young people.
I have a number of years experience of facilitating group supervision within counselling/wellbeing organisations and within schools.
I offer supervision to qualified counsellors/psychotherapists, Educational staff, and other social care practitioners.
I am a approved supervisor for the following services:
- Leeds Beckett University
- Kirklees College
- Leeds City College
- Bradford Rape Crisis
- Northpoint Wellbeing.
*Please note that due to my working commitments, I am not currently offering supervision to trainee practitioners*
I use an integrative and collaborative approach to supervision work where I anticipate that we would work intuitively and holistically together.
I hold specific interest and further qualifications in the areas of:
- Anxious feelings and Panic
- Bereavement, Grief, Loss
- Traumatic Stress and flashbacks
- The ongoing effects of toxic stress in early childhood
- Domestic and Sexual Abuse in which I hold a Masters Degree
Supervision meetings can be held via the online platform zoom or face to face within a comfortable therapy room. (Please note that my therapy room is within a converted outbuilding and may become cold during heavy winter season. In this case a combination of face to face and online working through a small part of the main winter months may be necessary)
If you are considering working with me, I offer an initial 15 minutes zoom meeting so that we are able to meet and decide if we would like to work together. My availability is variable throughout the week and we can discuss current/if there is availability at the time of our contact.
Ongoing fees for Supervisees will be as follows: £50.00 for 1 hour £75.00 for 1.5 hours.
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you be interested in undertaking supervision with me, I will be glad to answer any questions that you have.
I look forward to meeting you.
Testimonial's
"Michelle was critical to how our organisation grew in the period that she worked with us. The feedback was always that she helped our practitioners deal with the issues they were facing, gave real, down to earth support and guidance and was always incredibly professional. Michelle allowed us to work following BACP guidelines and ensured our team were always working within their means and ethically. I would strongly recommend Michelle to any organisation, big or small, for clinical supervision or any other consultancy services."
Danny Hutchinson, CEO, Invictus Wellbeing
"Being my first experience of supervisor/supervisee relationship, I was initially quite nervous as I knew how important this aspect of being a Counsellor is. The supervision is key in developing myself as an effective Counsellor. I did feel confident in my choice to work with Michelle, from our first meeting I had a good feeling about the connection that we could develop. I was keen to form a relationship that would help me to grow and progress. Michelle is a big part of my continuing development; she encourages reflection on my client work and together we look deeper into my understanding of each client's experience. I do fully trust our supervision space and feel able to bring any issues that arise. As my counselling journey continues, I hope to take even more from our sessions and feel that Michelle will enable me to become more explorative in order to improve my Counsellor/Client relationships"

The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society
This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations.
In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
