Clinical Supervision

 

As a supervisor- in -training, I am keen to find clinical practitioners who feel they might benefit from FREE supervision hours, to enable me to accumulate requisite placement hours.

I offer a thoughtful, supportive space to reflect, develop and deepen your practice. 

Clinical supervision is an opportunity to step back and make use of dedicated time to think about your clients, your practice and yourself as a practitioner. 

I offer a safe, collaborative and reflective space in which to explore your work, develop professional confidence and maintain high standards of ethical practice.

Supervision that supports you - and the people you work with

The work of a counsellor can be deeply rewarding and stimulating, but also challenging and emotionally demanding.  Effective supervision provides space to consider aspects of your clinical work that are difficult to hold alone. 

 

My approach to supervision is collaborative and compassionate.  I aim to create an environment where you can be open about uncertainty, explore different perspectives and think creatively about your work without fear of judgement.

Supervision can provide space to:

  • Reflect on your therapeutic relationships and clinical decision-making
  • Explore challenging or complex client work
  • Consider ethical and professional issues
  • Notice patterns, assumptions and blind spots.
  • Develop your therapeutic skills and confidence.
  • Think about boundaries and the impact of the work on you
  • Support your ongoing professional and personal development
  • Meet the requirements of your professional body and ethical framework.

My approach:

I see supervision as a two-way relationship and process, rather than simply a place to receive advice or have your work assessed. 

I use the Seven-Eyed Supervisory model as a framework to focus in on the different elements at play within the clinical triad (client-counsellor-supervisor), and the external context that might influence the therapeutic work.  

I draw on my experience and therapeutic knowledge whilst respecting your existing skills, values and way of working.  Together, we can explore what is happening in the room with your client, and what different possibilities might be available to you.

My aim is to help you develop greater clarity, curiosity and confidence within your practice.  

 

Who is this for?

I offer supervision to qualified and trainee counsellors, and therapeutic practitioners in other professional fields working therapeutically with clients.

You may be newly qualified and looking to establish yourself in practice, or an experienced practitioner wanting a space for deeper reflection and continued professional development 

I welcome practitioners from a range of therapeutic approaches and am happy to discuss whether my supervision style and experience would be a good fit for you.

What sessions look like:

Supervision sessions last between 60-90 minutes and can take place online or in person.

Sessions are tailored to your needs and may include discussion of current client work, case formulation, ethical questions, professional development, your experience of the therapeutic relationship, or anything else that feels important to bring.

There are no initial expectations that you arrive with specific questions, sometimes the most useful starting point is simply:

'I'm not quite sure what is happening here.'

 

Interested in finding out more?

I offer an initial conversation so that we can talk about your supervision needs and see whether we feel like a good fit.  

The initial discussion is free of charge, sessions thereafter are charged at £60 per hour.  Whilst I complete my training, however, all supervision sessions are FREE OF CHARGE.
