Counselling Supervision
The primary value of supervision comes from having a safe and supportive environment in which the supervisee can build on their own skills and insights as a practitioner, and in which the supervisee can reflect on any aspect of their profession and their client relationships. The ultimate aim of supervision is to enable supervisees to enhance the service they offer to clients, and to safeguard and enhance their own well-being while doing it. In terms of subject matter, the primary focus of the supervision process is the supervisee and the therapeutic process unfolding between them and their clients.
Good supervision is crucial for client safety and supports therapists performing their often difficult work.
I offer a safe and respectful space to reflect on practice issues, and work with an integrative approach aimed at tailoring supervision to your requirements. There are many dilemmas that occur in this type of work and I see supervision as a mirror in a mirror, providing a safety-net for client and therapist. I offer over twenty years of experience in different settings and spent many years prior to that working in/with caring organisations, which has given me useful life experience.
In addition to qualifying as a counselling psychologist I invested in further supervision training of different styles, which may be useful in matching to your needs as a therapist. My core working models are; Person-centred, Psychodynamic, CBT and Mindfulness Based Therapy. I am also familiar with and use aspects of other therapies (systemic, gestalt etc.).
