Supervision details
Are you looking for a warm space where you can explore your client work, develop your practice and consider your ongoing learning as a practitioner?
Might you also be an introverted counsellor in private practice who feels isolated but doesn’t enjoy networking? If so, read on and see if I can help!
A little bit about me
I set up in PP in 2020 following a career in the corporate world, working in Learning and Talent Development. I know what it’s like to set up your private practice through trial and error, figuring it out as you go and being unsure who to ask for help. I know what a difference it can make to have the right supervision and support in place.
As an integrative counsellor and trainee psychoanalytical psychotherapist (attachment focussed), I offer integrative supervision, using the Seven Eye Model as a framework, for a multi-dimensional perspective, which holds the client at its’ heart.
Along side this, I also run Reflective Practice Groups with therapists wishing to more intentionally focus on their development, aspirations and professional identity.
What is Reflective Practice?
Donald Schön (1983) coined the term reflective practice, defining it as the process by which professionals become aware of their implicit knowledge and learn from their experiences. He argued that skilled practitioners often understand more than they can consciously explain when performing a task.
In the context of counselling supervision, reflective practice helps uncover, explore, and refine this tacit knowledge. While supervision focuses on client outcomes and clinical skills, reflective practice places a greater emphasis on personal development, self-awareness, and emotional insight.
Reflective practice is often interwoven into supervision, but because it requires dedicated time and space, it helps to intentionally ring-fence this aspect of professional growth.
And Group Work?
Whilst Reflective Practice has stand alone benefits, it is also a perfect foil for introverted networking! If you’ve joined community groups but struggle to get a foothold, RP groups provide provide networking opportunities without the awkward small talk!
- No forced networking. Instead, we offer structured opportunities to connect, collaborate, and grow in a way that feels natural and comfortable for introverts.
- Equal time for everyone. You’ll have your space to share, without feeling overshadowed or rushed. Every voice matters.
- A supportive environment. This is a safe, thoughtful space for counsellors who want to reflect and grow, without the pressure to perform or compete.
If this resonates and you would like to find out more, get in touch - you can book and introductory call, message me through the directory or email me at info@catherinenoel.uk. I’d love to explore how we could work together.
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.
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
