Supervision details

Warm, Supportive Clinical Supervision for Counsellors and Helping Professionals

Hi, welcome to my page. I am Janine, an integrative counselling supervisor with 15 yrs counselling experience. I provide supervision for qualified counsellors, trainee counsellors, group supervision and I also work with external agencies to provide staff supervision to team leaders and managers.

Supervision is an essential part of safe and effective practice, but it should also be a space where you feel supported, encouraged, and able to reflect openly on your work.

As a supervisor, I aim to provide a warm, collaborative, and reflective environment where you can feel comfortable bringing yourself, your clients and the challenges of your work into the supervision room. Supervision with me is a space where you can explore your client work, develop your confidence, and continue to grow as a practitioner. Although I follow the seven eyed model, I work in a relaxed way to ensure you feel comfortable to be yourself in the sessions. I support my qualified supervisees by sharing resources, offering free peer supervision and also inviting them to a WhatsApp group where all my supervisees connect and share resources or support. Private practice can be a lonely place so my aim is to build a safe community where we can share and support . I also am available outside the supervision sessions for safeguarding concerns at no extra cost.

For my student supervisees I also offer free resources and provide reports at no extra cost. Once my students have qualified I offer supervision at the student rate for 6 months.

I work with qualified counsellors, trainee therapists, and professionals in helping roles, offering a supportive space to reflect on therapeutic relationships, ethical considerations, and the emotional impact of the work we do.

My Approach to Supervision

My supervision approach is supportive, reflective, and grounded in a trauma-informed perspective. I believe supervision should be a space where you feel able to think openly, explore uncertainties, and develop your professional voice without fear of judgement.

Supervision sessions aim to support you to:

Reflect safely on your clinical work and client relationships
Explore ethical considerations and professional boundaries
Develop confidence in your clinical decision-making
Understand the impact of the work on you as a practitioner
Strengthen your theoretical understanding and skills
Maintain safe and ethical practice
I aim to balance support, reflection, and gentle challenge, helping you think deeply about your work while ensuring supervision remains a supportive and encouraging experience.

My clinical experience includes working with clients experiencing:

Childhood trauma
Narcissistic and emotionally abusive relationships
Adult trauma
Anxiety and emotional overwhelm
Low self-worth and relationship difficulties

Supervision Style

My supervision style is warm, thoughtful, and collaborative. I believe the supervisory relationship should mirror the safety and trust we aim to create with our clients.

My aim is for supervisees to leave sessions feeling:

Supported and heard
More confident in their work
Able to think more clearly about their client relationships
Encouraged in their professional development

I have worked in many roles throughout my career with adults and young people, including schools and Pupil referral units. I have also worked in prisons and with children's social care with Child in Need and Child Protection cases.

I work integratively using person centred, psychodynamic, CBT and Trauma therapy and have worked with clients who have presented with many different concerns for short term, long term and EAP work. I currently work in private practice and undertake EAP work with local authorities and the police. I am also a trained EMDR therapist and a Critical Incident Stress Management debriefer.

I specialise in working with survivors of narcissistic abuse and trauma due to lived experience in this area.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Wheelchair user access
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.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

I currently offer face to face appointments at Pioneer House, Ellesmere Port and my office can be reached via stairs or lift access.
