Supervision

Supporting safe, ethical and reflective practice

I offer over twenty years of experience in the counselling and psychotherapy professions, having worked as a counsellor, psychotherapist, supervisor and counselling trainer along with working in setting the standards for counselling training, and working in professional standards at the BACP.

My focus is on supporting supervisees to work safely and ethically with their clients, while also helping them to achieve their own potential within the profession.

I recognise the importance of the supervisory relationship and offer a safe, nurturing and non-judgmental space, allowing supervisees to be open and honest in the material they bring.

The supervisory model I base most of my work on is the Hawkins and Shohet Seven Eyed model of supervision. I also draw on the Inskipp and Proctor model, with its focus on the normative, formative and restorative functions of supervision.

I bring experience from private practice, counselling training, professional standards work, trauma-informed practice and many years of supporting therapists at different stages of their professional development.

If you would like to meet with me, I offer a one hour introductory session free of charge. This gives us both space to explore what you want and need from supervision, and whether we are a good fit.

Please note I do not supervise work with children and young people. I only offer supervision to therapists who work primarily face to face/in the room.
