Supervision details
Counselling Supervision; A Reflective and Collaborative Space.
Counselling supervision with me is not something that happens across a formal divide. It is a shared reflective space; a place to pause, think, and make sense of your work together.
In supervision, we do more than review caseloads or meet professional requirements. We attend to the lived experience of your work. We notice what feels meaningful, what feels difficult, and what is emerging beneath the surface of your practice.
In our work together, we are interested in how you experience your work from the inside out, not just what is happening, but how it is felt, understood, and carried by you as a practitioner.
The Philosophy of My Counselling Supervision
- A shared inquiry, not a hierarchy;
Supervision is a collaborative space where we think together. We sit alongside one another to reflect on your work rather than one person directing the other. - Lived experience and meaning;
We focus on how your work feels and is experienced in the moment. We make space for reflection, uncertainty, insight, and emerging meaning rather than fixed answers. - Existential and depth-informed perspective;
My approach is influenced by existentialism, existential phenomenology, and depth psychology. We explore not just what is happening, but how it is experienced and understood by you as a practitioner. - Supporting practitioner identity;
Supervision supports both your clinical work and your development as a therapist, including confidence, uncertainty, and your evolving therapeutic voice.
Rooted in Ethics, Nourished by Soul
Counselling supervision with me always honours professional ethical frameworks, including NCPS guidance, to ensure safe and accountable practice.
Alongside this, I also hold supervision as a reflective space where professional responsibility and personal meaning can sit together. It is a place to think carefully about your work, while also staying connected to your own sense of purpose and presence as a practitioner.
Costs
Supervision sessions are charged at £70.00 per 1.5 hours monthly, this is broken down into two 45-minute supervision sessions per month (as per NCPS & BACP requirements). All required reports for trainee counsellors and those going through the accreditation process are provided at no additional cost.
Feedback
"For me, supervision with Leigh means having a safe space to listen to myself better, and at the same time to be confronted and able to grow. I feel safe to explore my identity as a therapist and to unpack personal layers in order to become more available for my clients. I noticed that I gradually felt confident and free to trust my own intuition. I believe Leigh is a great professional. I deeply value her ability to always meet me where I am. I’m continually surprised by the natural ease with which she brings different lenses and perspectives to whatever I share with her."
"The supervision space for me feels calming, safe and non-judgmental. I can sometimes get myself in a bit of a flap with the technology or accidentally double book myself and I never feel that you are frustrated with me. You are actually endlessly patient. Whilst I appreciate that it is not a counselling session, I do feel held if I am having a bit of a wobble in my personal or professional life. I do feel like I can have a little cry if I need to and I haven't always felt that I trusted my supervisors enough to be that vulnerable. I feel able to be very open and transparent about my successes and mistakes which is so important in supervision. I never feel that I need to hide or downplay anything that hasn't gone well."
