Supervision is vital to Counsellors and Psychotherapists, for their client work, development and professional compliance.
I offer a supportive, empathic and sometimes challenging space to which you can bring your client issues and in which we can explore the issues you face that are impacting your client work.
Supervision is a safe place to explore the difference that can strengthen your work if accepted and understood. Whether it is race, sexuality, gender based, disability or in other areas. It can make you feel unaccepted and wounded until you begin to value it and bring its wisdom into your counselling work.
The person-centred model is at the core of my supervision. I work with you to achieve a sharper, clearer understanding of your clients. This allows you to make your Rogerian conditions of empathy, congruence and unconditional positive regard more accurate, powerful and focussed so deepening the therapeutic relationship within which your client can heal. I also use the Seven-Eyed Model of Supervision in which anything that affects you, and therefore impacts your client work, is welcome at our meetings.
I focus on developing a trusting environment in which you can celebrate what went well and be curious about what did not; where ethical issues can be explored and decisions made, in keeping with the BACP Ethical Framework.
I work with student counsellors beginning their client work, studying to complete their professional qualifications; newly qualified practitioners, who may be working towards accreditation; and experienced practitioners, developing their practice.
I offer both one-to-one and group supervision. I can meet monthly or fortnightly for 1 or 1½ hours.
