Supervision details

Effective clinical supervision is an essential part of counselling and psychotherapy.  As an experienced psychotherapist, I offer a space for supervisees to enhance their practice by working in a warm, reflective, collaborative way, with an appropriate level of challenge.

For me, our relationship is central and my person-centred and experiential way of being intertwines with the frame being held by the 7-eyed supervision model.  I have experience of working with both trainees and those who are qualified.

One aim is for us to explore the whole landscape you are working in, both as an overview of the wider world and that which is up close and in detail.

We would work collaboratively to

Consider complex cases: Using a number of different lenses be that trauma, relationship dynamics, and ethical dilemmas in a safe, supportive space.

Hold a theoretical framework: Integrate theory with practical application to inform your work.

Refine your therapeutic skills: Explore your therapeutic relationships and enhance your ability to hold a strong therapeutic presence.

Where I come from

A trauma-informed approach: Understanding the impact of trauma on clients and therapists.

Emphasis on relational dynamics: Exploring how relationships impact both clients and the therapeutic process, using the 7-eyed supervision model as a basis for our work.

Strong theoretical foundation: I hold knowledge of a range of theoretical perspectives to enrich your practice, offered through my PC way of being.

What I bring

Experience both from the therapy (Charity, NHS & Private Practice), corporate and teaching worlds, broadening my horizons when considering the landscape you operate in.

Approved tutor on L4 CPCAB Therapeutic Counselling Course, with extensive experience of Group Supervision.

Qualifications: MSc in Person-Centred & Experiential Psychotherapy; BSc (Hons) Life Sciences; PGDipEd; QTS; UKCP (Accredited).

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.
