Alison Turner BA Hons, Dip. Couns, Registered BACP (Accredited)

Manchester M20 & M21

I work as a supervisor offering supervision to trainee and qualified counsellors in South Manchester. I have a Diploma in the Supervision of Counselling and the Caring Professions from the University of Manchester. I work within the framework of the seven-eyed model (Hawkins and Shohett 2006)

I use an integrative approach, both as a counsellor and supervisor, but work primarily from a Person Centred perspective. I see my role as supervisor as being to provide support with case work as well as learning and development and professional issues.

My aim as a supervisor is to build a warm, non-judgemental relationship with my supervisees which is also challenging and honest, and to provide a safe, confidential environment in which difficult issues can be discussed.

I offer an initial appointment to discuss the role of supervision in more detail. This would also provide the opportunity to set up a contract.

I offer face-to-face or Skype appointments.

Concessionary rates are available for counselling trainees.

Wheelchair user access Wheelchair user access Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best. You can contact the counsellor to discuss the options available. Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service.
