Pamela Hartley

I am a highly qualified counsellor, supervisor and trainer, who is passionate about supporting counsellors, therapists and other professionals.  I offer supervision to experienced practitioners and students, those working within organisations and counsellors in private practice.  I specialise in trauma-informed counselling/supervision, having completed the MSc in Psychological Trauma and having several years’ experience supporting individuals affected by traumatic bereavement and sexual violence.  I also have particular interest and experience in working with bereavement, loss and life changing/limiting illness.

As a supervisor, I would work with you to build a collaborative relationship, offering regular opportunities to reflect on and develop your practice in order to work effectively, safely and ethically.  I offer a safe space in which the work can be considered within organisational, professional, social and cultural contexts whilst also being nurturing and supportive.

My approach is based on the Seven-eyed Model of Supervision (Hawkins & Shohet, 2012), as well as the normative, formative and restorative purposes of supervision described by Inskipp and Proctor.  These facilitate a collaborative relationship which meets the quality-control, developmental and supportive functions of supervision. 

Currently supervision is charged at £45 per hour, though a concessionary fee of £30 may be available to student counsellors.

Please feel free to contact me for further information or if you have any questions.
