Supervision details

Meaningful supervision is an opportunity to share, confidentially, how we are currently working with our clients and to discuss if there are better ways to give a better experience to them. It is also about accountability, safeguarding, learning and professional development. I feel that these are opportunities for both the supervisor and supervisee to grow and learn through working with each other. As a supervisor facilitating, hearing, and supporting peers to develop and grow. Supervision is different from counselling, though many of the same skills are used, and requires a different more stood back way of looking at counselling. Statistically many counsellors have had poor experiences of clinical supervision so I aim to offer the best I can, be ethical, honest, and transparent. I offer individual supervision to both trainee and established counsellors in a friendly and calm way, challenging where needed. I am an attentive listener, preferring to facilitate, and support personal development and growth. This can be on line, phone, or face to face.
