Supervision details
Hello,
I'm Hannah, a clinical psychologist offering online supervision for practitioners in private practice. I love helping others learn and grow and my aim is to empower others to feel confident and competent. Clinically I work integratively, but tend to favour drawing on compassion-focused, polyvagal, and attachment-focused ways of working. I'm a couples therapist (though I'm not supervising in this) so draw on emotionally focused therapy throughout my work. My approach strikes a balance between structured and exploratory work. With most clients, I will offer psychoeducation, strategies and techniques to help clients in their everyday experience of suffering. But I believe exploring the past and root causes of distress is as, if not more important. I like to make space for clients' experiences without pushing for solutions, hold their suffering with compassion and empathy, and work with them to make long-lasting change.
As a supervisor, my aim would be to assist you in whatever dilemmas or clients you're bringing to discuss. In my own supervision, I value a space to discuss client issues, think about how or why an issue might be causing a certain reaction in me, think about where the work could go next and learn new ways of working. This is something I would like to offer you. A big passion of mine is helping people feel confident in their choice to go into private practice. I'm happy to think through how it can feel to take the leap into private work if you are new to the field and it's helpful.
My preferred style of working is without too many limits - shifting and drawing on different models according to where the work needs to go and not imposing strict time-limits on the number of sessions I offer. My aim is to help clients move on from therapy confidently, rather than because of an idea in my head about how long or short therapy "should" be. For that reason, I probably wouldn't be the best suited to someone who likes to work in a very manualised way, or who does very short-term interventions.
I work online only. Though I can help guide you in safeguarding decisions, I would not be suitable for someone with high risk clients or clients who have been in secondary care.
If you want to get in touch for a chat to see if we're the right fit, send me an email and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. I have availability in the UK weekday evening-times. 50 minute sessions are £80.
The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
