About me and my therapy practice
I am a experienced Counsellor & Couples Psychotherapist within the NHS Talking Therapies services and also provide clinical supervision to both qualified and trainee counsellors.鈥
I have a strong belief supervision is a collaborative process, it is imperative to offer a secure, helpful space in which you feel a trusting relationship can be developed in order to explore your experiences with your client practice and grow through personal development.
I would hope to encourage autonomy in your thinking and offer gentle guidance and support in areas you wish to explore.
鈥I can offer regular 1:1 or group Supervision to support practitioners or trainee counsellors in meeting the accreditation standards.
My aim is to create a relationship that feels supportive, non-judgemental and nurturing so supervisees can feel safe to explore their challenges as well as celebrating their accomplishments. I would encourage a climate of growth, mentoring supervisees to develop their skills, knowledge, experience, self-reflection and confidence in their work.
I believe the purpose of supervision is to:
- Maintain professional and ethical boundaries
- To support personal and professional development that enhances practice
- To reflect in depth about all aspects of practice in order to work ethically, safely and effectively as possible
- To offer a safe space allowing supervisees to share that 鈥榝elt experience鈥 and discuss any concerns
- To discuss accomplishments and celebrate successes whilst learning from conflicts and any blocks to empathy
- To grow skills, knowledge and confidence
Practice description
I base my theoretical practice with a person-centred approach on an integration of Shohet and Hawkins seven-eyed process model which is a systemic approach that considers multiple lenses and Inskipp and Proctors functional model.
I provide a flexible approach to supervision that addresses the diverse needs of your clients and would be happy to discuss this with you further.
