Supervision

Supervision makes time for reflection, growth, and renewal in your professional practice. It will provide you with an opportunity to step back from the immediacy of your work and gain new perspectives.

This work serves both your clients and your own healing journey. Longer term, a supervisory relationship that develops over time becomes an invaluable resource for identifying recurring patterns and sharing your deepening insight.

My Approach

As a qualified supervisor (2021), my practice is informed primarily by my foundation training in the Person-Centered Approach.

I have also recently trained in the 'Seven Eyed Model' developed by Peter Hawkins and Robin Shohet. This comprehensive framework uses seven distinct lenses to observe yourself, your clients, and the wider systems that connect us all, and can bring a spiritual dimension to the work.

I bring a commitment to an awareness of diversity and systemic inequalities in my supervision practice. I continue to develop an understanding of how privilege and rank shape both our perspectives and how others perceive us. My aim is to offer a sensitive, respectful environment that honours the complexity of each person's individual experience.

Who I Work With

I offer supervision to trainees, qualified counsellors and psychotherapists and group facilitators, as well as other professionals. I welcome anyone who would like to explore supervision in connection to their work.

Practicalities and Fees

Supervision can take place in my dedicated therapy space, outdoors at a mutually agreed location, or online, whatever works best for you.

As part of my training with CSTD, I'm seeking both in-training and recently qualified supervisees, as well as more experienced practitioners. I'm able to offer high-quality supervision at a reduced rate of £50 per hour or £75 for 90 minutes.
