Dr Julia Brewer

I am an experienced Counselling Psychologist with a background in the NHS and charity sector and for the past six years, in private psychotherapy practice. I offer one-to-one and group clinical supervision for counsellors, psychotherapists, psychologists and other helping professionals. I also offer reflective supervision for colleagues in Education settings.

I take a pluralistic approach to therapy and supervision, that is, the understanding that different approaches are useful for different people at different times. My own client work is informed by existential, psychodynamic and compassion-focused models, however as a therapist I have enjoyed being supervised by colleagues working with different modalities. I believe this 'cross-pollination' of ideas provides fertile ground for professional growth and development. 

Supervisees have described me as warm, empathic, curious and gently challenging. As a supervisor I aim to offer a containing, reflective space where together we can attend to whatever might be arising in your client work as well as your own self-care and professional development needs. 

I am currently undergoing further supervision training with CSTD (Centre for Supervision and Training Development), working with the Seven-Eyed-Model of Supervision. During my training period I am offering supervision sessions at a reduced rate. I receive supervision-for-supervision to support this work.
