Supervision details
My supervisory perspective is psychodynamic, developmental with a Jungian influence; I have taken the Developing Supervisory Skills course at the British Psychotherapy Foundation; I am happy to discuss supervision of those who who have been trained in a different modality.
How I see supervision
I see supervision as a journey together in the service of better helping our clients. I look and listen for the dynamics of a situation, both those between therapist-client as well as between supervisor-supervisee. As in my work as a therapist, I regard transference and countertransference as being valuable indicators as to what may be going on. I also consider how the body's reactions can inform understanding.
Modality of supervision?
Supervision is about attunement and looking for patterns, so I believe that the work is richer if it can be face to face, but I am prepared to work online.
First step
You won't be surprised to hear that I suggest an initial (free) phone call or online meeting so that we can get a sense of how it would be to work together; and then take it from there.

BPC registrants are governed by a code of ethics, a policy of continuing professional development, a statement on confidentiality and a complaints procedure. The BPC is a Member Society of the European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in the Public Sector (EFPP). Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
