About me and my therapy practice

When looking for a therapist you need to make sure you get the right one who meets your needs. You need to feel comfortable working together as well as having the confidence that your therapist is able to sufficiently hold whatever you bring to the sessions.

I have a background of working with families, groups and individuals in a wide range of caring & supporting roles for almost 30 years.

I describe myself as a collaborative relational psychotherapist, counsellor and supervisor; as I believe that the relationship is the most important aspect to successful therapeutic work, and that working together as equals rather than as expert/patient is a far more productive, empowering & beneficial approach.

I practice integratively; drawing upon the most relevant psychological approach for each particular client to best meet their needs at any given time.

I am also trained in Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS). A remarkably effective therapy that is in very high demand, & which does inform a great deal of my current practice.

I have specialist training in sexual and domestic abuse, loss, bereavement and trauma. I am also trained to integrate coaching as well as mindfulness practice within my therapy if required.

I work with individuals, couples and young people; can take referrals from Insurance companies, EAP鈥橲, various agencies and mental health teams as well as referrals and general enquiries from the general public.

I work face to face in my private practice rooms, am insured to visit a client at their home & I work online or via telephone & email.

I do offer a limited amount of concessions for trainee counsellors or those in receipt of certain benefits.

I am also able to offer appointments within 48 hours鈥(excluding weekends & bank holidays)

Practice description

My private practice rooms offer a safe space to explore, process and resolve the topics that have brought you into therapy. There is private parking & ground floor access which makes it easier for those with mobility issues.

There are also a wide range of materials for creative therapies available in these rooms.

We also offer remote sessions via telephone or online to clients world wide.

My first session

Finding the right therapist is the most important aspect for successful therapy even more so than the type of therapy used.

The initial consultation is an opportunity to get a feel for each other and to decide on the best type of therapy for your needs.

It is also a perfect opportunity to ask anything you are uncertain about, and to begin to think about and flesh out your goals and objectives for therapy.

This first session is without any obligation to commit to further sessions, and to make sure that you are happy to begin our journey together.

What I can help with

Abuse, ADD / ADHD, Addictions, AIDS/HIV, Anxiety, Autism spectrum, Bereavement, Business coaching, Cancer, Career coaching, Chronic fatigue syndrome / ME, Coaching supervision, Cultural issues, Depression, Development coaching, Disability, Eating disorders, Health related issues, Identity issues, Life coaching, Loss, Men's issues, Obsessions, OCD, Personal development, Phobias, Post-traumatic stress, Self esteem, Self-harm, Service veterans, Sexual identity, Sexuality, Spirituality, Trauma, Women's issues

About me and my therapy practice

Clinical supervision is a structured process where a qualified supervisor supports a counsellor or psychotherapist in their work with clients. This supervision is a critical aspect of professional practice, designed to ensure the counsellor鈥檚 work is ethical, effective, and safe for both the client and the therapist.

Key Aspects of Clinical Supervision

Support and Reflection:

Clinical supervision provides a space for the therapist to reflect on their practice, discuss challenging cases, and explore their thoughts, feelings, and reactions to their clients. This reflection helps therapists to remain effective and compassionate in their work.

Ethical Oversight:

Supervisors help ensure that therapists adhere to ethical guidelines, such as those set by professional bodies like the 香港六合彩精准资料 (香港六合彩精准资料) or the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). This includes ensuring that client confidentiality is maintained, that the therapist-client relationship remains professional, and that the therapist is working within their competence.

Professional Development:

Supervision is also a forum for ongoing professional development. Supervisors may provide guidance on therapeutic techniques, suggest further training, or help therapists identify areas for growth.

Accountability:

Supervision provides a level of accountability for therapists, ensuring that their work meets professional standards. It also offers a safety net, where supervisors can identify and address any potential issues in the therapist鈥檚 practice before they impact clients.

Frequency and Format:

The frequency and format of supervision can vary depending on the therapist鈥檚 experience and the requirements of their professional body. Typically, therapists in the UK attend supervision sessions monthly, with newer therapists usually required to have more frequent supervision. The sessions can be conducted one-on-one, in groups, or even remotely.

Practice description

Confidentiality:

While supervision sessions are confidential, supervisors have a responsibility to act if they believe a client is at risk of harm. This might involve breaking confidentiality to protect the client, but such instances are carefully managed according to ethical guidelines.

Regulatory and Professional Requirements

In the UK, clinical supervision is a requirement for membership in professional bodies like the 香港六合彩精准资料, NCPS or the British Psychological Society (BPS). These bodies have specific guidelines on the amount and type of supervision required. For example, the 香港六合彩精准资料 & NCPS recommend that qualified practitioners have at least 1.5 hours of supervision per month & trainee therapists have 1.5 hours of supervision per 12 hours of client work.

Benefits for Therapists and Clients

For therapists, supervision provides essential emotional and professional support, preventing burnout and promoting continued growth. For clients, it indirectly improves the quality of care they receive, as their therapist is continually developing their skills and maintaining high standards of practice.

Overall, clinical supervision is a cornerstone of ethical and effective practice in counselling and psychotherapy in the UK, helping to ensure that therapists provide the best possible care to their clients. and It is a requirement for membership of all of the country鈥檚 counselling and psychotherapy organisations as well as a requirement for professional insurance.

Professional clinical supervision helps to ensure the well-being of the clients as well as the supervisees. This aims to ensure that safe and ethical ways of practice are being adhered to; whether you work within an agency, an organisation or as an individual in private practice.

 The Supervision Practice adopted by Clifton Psychotherapy is an Integration of several different models; which include Hawkins & Shohets鈥 7 eyed model, Page & Woskets鈥 Cyclical model, Inskipp & Proctors鈥 functional model as well as Carrols鈥 7 generic tasks of supervision. We also draw on Redfern鈥檚 work in the use of integrating Internal Family Systems (IFS) within supervision.

Clifton Psychotherapy believe in a collaborative relational way of working within supervision with the ethos 鈥渨e are all therapists together鈥.
