Supervision details

.Person Centered Supervision

I offer counselling supervision that is grounded in the Person-Centered Approach. I have over thirty years’ experience in both counselling and supervision and am an accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. My experience as a supervisor has involved work with established counsellors within a range of contexts, e.g. schools, hospitals, private practice and in training. I regard supervision as a shared enterprise that focuses on the development of the therapeutic ability of the supervisee. I feel this development is best nurtured through the nature of the supervision relationship that is trusting of the supervisee’s capacity for self-direction and determination. Therefore, the experiences, as in therapy, of empathy, acceptance and congruence are important in generating a climate of mutual respect and trust. It is the supervisee's experiencing that provides the focus for our work which includes affective, cognitive, spiritual issues as well as the professional and ethical.

Supervision is offered online or face to face.

Rates: £50/70 per session for practicing counsellors and a flat rate of £30 for students.

I f you think that I might be the person you are looking for as your supervisor I offer, at no cost, an introductory session that will give you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have and for me to further develop my understanding of person-centered supervision with you.

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.
