Supervision details
I provide supervision for counsellors, therapists, coaches, and other helping or caring professionals, including DSLs, creating a secure space to reflect on professional practice while supporting the supervisee's personal wellbeing.
As a Chartered Psychologist and Pluralistic Counsellor, I have trained and specialised in various areas such as stress management, the mind-body connection, and the neuroscience of meditation. This equips supervisees with a broad range of skills and tools to enhance their coaching practice.
For further details, please refer to our article on becoming a Chartered Coaching Psychologist.
Moreover, I have completed the SDS Essentials and Advanced Clinical Supervision course, qualifying me for the BPS Register of Applied Psychology Practice Supervisors.
I commonly employ Proctor’s 3 Function Interactive Model for supervision, which comprises:
§ FORMATIVE FUNCTION (Learning) – Focused on developing the supervisee's skills, abilities, and understanding.
§ RESTORATIVE FUNCTION (Support) – Addresses how the supervisee emotionally copes with the stresses of their work.
§ NORMATIVE FUNCTION (Accountability) – Ensures the safety and effectiveness of the supervisee's practice.
