Supervision with Kerstin



I’m Kerstin Pullin, an NCS accredited supervisor, EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner and Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ Accredited Counsellor that knows from experience that it requires relational trust building to bring cases that can be tough and impacting on your confidence. 

Balancing being a diligent practitioner with the necessity to practice self-care and run a business or work in an organisational setting can be challenging and requires a space for support and self-reflection.

That’s where my experience comes in to empathically support, challenge and empower you to stay on your path whilst sailing through rough waters with your clients. 

My background is in providing contemporary trauma informed practice through the lenses of intersectionality, curiosity and compassion. Clients can introduce a multitude of life experiences with varying impact on their relationships and sense of self. Collaboratively we can explore the challenges you are facing and your ideas on how to support clients to meet their hopes for therapy.
 

Bringing yourself in to supervision

Potentially working with a number of complex cases and narratives about experiences or witnessing of violence and abuse can lead to therapists developing secondary trauma traits. We risk experiencing compassion fatigue (Figley, 2002) and vicarious traumatisation (Pearlman and Saakvitne, 1995). I therefore don’t limit our time together to client work, as counselling and psychotherapy supervision involves you, so bringing all of yourself to supervision; personal and/or private practice/organisational aspects that might impact you ability to stay present with your client.

 

Despite going through difficult socio-political and environmental dominated times I can provide you with supervision that is collaborative, dynamic, holding and respectful of your requirements.

Please note that if you seek supervision for your work as an EMDR Therapist, you would need to contact a qualified EMDR Consultant.

I would recommend to book a 45min. introductory session to explore your experiences/expectations and the way I work.
