What is supervision?

Supervision is 'a working alliance between a supervisor and a counsellor in which the counsellor can offer an account or recording of (their) work; reflect on it; receive feedback and, where appropriate, guidance. The object of this alliance is to enable the counsellor to gain in ethical competence, confidence, compassion and creativity so as to give (their) best possible service to (the) client'

(Inskipp and Proctor).

​

My supervision practice is integrative, and is a collaborative relationship based on equality, mutual trust, safety, and ethical importance. It enables processing of feelings and ways of working with clients, and is intended to be normative, formative and restorative.

It is a place of learning, insight, growth, and professional development, where mistakes can be worked through without shame or blame.  Hopefully you will also find it to be enjoyable and celebratory.

​

I use the 'seven-eyed model' of Supervision, which refers to seven different ways of looking at the client presentation and related relationships (described fully in 'Supervision in the Helping Professions', Shohet and Hawkins:2021).  This focuses on; client, supervisee’s interventions, client-supervisee relationship, supervisee’s own experiences, supervisor-supervisee relationship, supervisor’s own reflections, and the wider context.

​

Qualification

Post Graduate Diploma in Supervision, which enables me to have the necessary skills, knowledge, and professional development to provide supervisory support and guidance to counsellors in clinical practice.  

 

I am currently studying towards an MA in Therapeutic Counselling and Psychotherapy, which includes gaining more knowledge of working with complex mental health, trauma, and working at relational depth.  

 

I bring the wealth of experience I have gained from running my own private counselling practice.

Fees

We would meet via zoom first to discuss your needs and see if I am the right supervisor to support you.  This is for 30 minutes and is free. 

 

As I am a newly qualified supervisor my fee is £50.00 per hour.

​

I do not supervise trainee therapists.
