Larraine Cox

Welcome
I’m a BACP accredited, integrative, counsellor and clinical supervisor, offering reflective, down-to-earth supervision that combines warmth, honesty, and encouragement.  I understand that choosing a supervisor is a personal and sometimes daunting step, so let's arrange to have a relaxed, no-obligation chat to see if we’re a good fit by phone or online (Zoom) - absolutely, no pressure. 

For ongoing work, I can also offer in person supervision in Runcorn (WA7).

Who I Work With
I provide clinical supervision for:

Qualified counsellors working with adults, young people (11+), couples or relationships  (sorry I don't supervise work with children under 11 yrs)

Counselling supervisors – including supervision of supervision

Trainees (Level 4–7) seeking flexible, supportive supervision

Professionals in other fields (e.g. teachers, social workers) for reflective practice or CPD

My Approach to Supervision
Supervision, with me, is collaborative, respectful and growth focused.  I offer a balance of support and gentle challenge, helping you to:

• Reflect on your client work
• Integrate theory into practice
• Navigate ethical dilemmas
• Build confidence and resilience
• Celebrate successes and learn from mis-steps

I believe supervision should be a safe place where you can bring both your challenges and achievements.  We grow when we feel heard, respected, and gently stretched.

I take an holistic approach - if you’ve had a row with your partner - you can bring this or any personal worries you have & we’ll explore this & how it impacts your work (as long as this isn’t each and all of the supervision).

I use the Seven-Eyed Model (Hawkins & Shohet) as my primary supervisory framework and draw on a wide range of clinical approaches including Transactional Analysis (TA), Systemic, Person-Centred, NLP, Mindfulness, Attachment and Solution Focused models.

Support with Training & Accreditation
I have extensive experience supervising student counsellors and supporting practitioners through CPCAB, MSc, BACP and NCPS accreditation processes.

I'll work with you on:

• Mid-placement reviews
• 50 & 100-hour supervision reports
• Accreditation Applications / Supervision Reports

Where possible, we will complete reports collaboratively during supervision sessions. If additional time is needed, a fee will apply (usually equivalent to one session fee) but, depending on the time needed this could be two sessions fee but we'll explore this beforehand so no unpleasant shocks.

Sessions are payable in advance. For fortnightly supervision, the full fee, for both sessions, is due at the start of the month.  If this is difficult, please talk to me - I’m human and likely to understand.
 
Group Supervision (Online)
Supervision doesn’t have to be isolating. My small, supportive groups (4-6 members) are a space in which to reflect, share, and grow together.

Current Groups:

Monday 1:15pm – Relationship Counsellors (1 space available)

Wednesday 9:15am – General Casework (currently full)

Thursday 12:30pm – Mixed Adult Work (1 space available)

Fee: £30 for a 2-hour session

If the day that suits you is full, happy to put you on a waiting list - if enough on the waiting list or interested - then happy to start another group.

Flexibility & Availability
My working hours are: Monday to Thursday – early morning, daytime, and some evenings

Location: Online, phone, or face-to-face in Runcorn (WA7)

Response times: I usually reply promptly, including some Fridays/weekends, but official hours are Mon–Thurs - if you haven't heard from me within a day or so, please check your spam and/or please try me again.
 
Final Thoughts
Supervision is a professional relationship – but it’s also about human connection.  You should feel able to bring your whole self: your questions, your worries and doubts, your wins, and your bad days.

So, after we speak, ask yourself:

Would I feel comfortable bringing a tough day or a "silly" question to this supervisor?

If the answer is yes, we may be a good fit.  If not, I fully support you in continuing your search.
