I have worked as a counsellor for the last 20 years in the NHS and hospices, and before that as a teacher for 12 years. I trained in the person-centred approach which offers a firm foundation in relational therapy and have a post graduate certificate in counselling supervision.Ìý

I believe a relationship between supervisor and supervisee that provides opportunities for growth, exploration and learning without fear of blame or shame is key to effective supervision in which trust and compassion reign.

I deliver supervision to university counselling, wellbeing and student support service teams and hospice staff. I'm passionate about supporting people in finding their voice to be heard and understood, and enabling them to find compassion and self-care to make changes for themselves and those they work with.Ìý

I am a Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ accredited counsellor, clinical supervisor, mindfulness teacher, and academic. Since becoming a Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ member in 2014, I have worked in schools and universities, non-profit organisations, and have been a counselling manager in the private sector. I currently work in private practice and lecture at a university in Greater Manchester. As well as adult counselling, I completed training in children’s counselling with Place2Be in 2017, where I worked in primary schools across Manchester for two years.

During 2019-2020, I was a supervisor with Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ as part of this pilot scheme, where I supervised pastoral and safeguarding leads in further education colleges. Alongside my work, I am currently completing a Doctorate in Psychological Trauma.

I’m a positive, empathic, and conscientious practitioner with 10 years of qualified therapeutic experience counselling adults, children and young people. My particular expertise includes working with bereavement, depression and anxiety, family relationships and childhood trauma.

I've been a qualified clinical supervisor for five years providing supervision for trainee and qualified therapists, and employees within education and non-profit organisations. Before that I worked in secondary education as a teacher, head of year and head of faculty.

I’m passionate about supervision and see it as a wonderful opportunity to develop collaborative relationships that enable exploration of all aspects of work, safeguarding, sharing information and good practice.

I have a Diploma in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy and Certificate in Supervision and currently run a private practice in Greater Manchester.

I am a qualified person-centred counsellor and clinical supervisor and have been a member of Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ since 2014.

I have been working as a school counsellor for the past four years in both primary and secondary settings. The secondary school I currently work in has a sixth form so I have a lot of experience working with students up to 18 years old. I also have my own private clients ranging in age from 16 to 60. I also provide supervision to counsellors, trainee counsellors and members of pastoral support teams in school.

I have worked in an educational setting for the past 20 years and am committed to providing the best possible support to all students and clients that I see.ÌýI am led by my clients and have developed workshops and groups with students, parents and staff to focus on the needs of the students.

I'm an integrative therapist, artist and arts facilitator. I've spent my career working in the arts and education, working with school-refusers and vulnerable learners in flexi-art schools and therapeutic interventions. I've worked as a school counsellor since 2013, interweaving the arts and a creative approach to all my work.

As a school counsellor I work closely with my colleagues, the DSLs and those who provide pastoral support. I have devised several supervisory structures and systems to embed in schools and colleges. Supervisory spaces are crucial if we want to prevent burnout and model holistic systems where the wellbeing of all - staff and students - is nurtured and protected. I have also set up free staff counselling for all staff in one school I work at.

I'm an accredited member of Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ, having trained as an integrative counsellor in 2013. I work therapeutically with adults, children and young people in private practice. I've worked within schools and colleges, both as a counsellor and in my previousÌý career as a youth worker. I offer 1:1 counselling, groupwork and supervision support for staff. I supervise trainee and qualified counsellors and I'm also a trainer in the field of mental health, tutoring on counselling courses for Place2Be and offering workshops about common mental health issues.

My experience of delivering supervision with staff from a number of schools, colleges and charities is that they use it in many different ways. We share ideas, support each other through challenges, build and strengthen relationships within teams and take learning back in the workplace. They value having a space that's for them, where they set the agenda, and where they can reflect openly on their work, the impact it has on them and their relationships. I've always enjoyed the benefits of supervision in my own work and am firmly committed to sharing this with others.
