Supervision

As a supervisor, I seek to work collaboratively with counsellors providing an opportunity to reflect on and explore counselling work with an experienced practitioner.

Aims within supervision:

• Provide a place of accountability, where you can reflect on counselling work, exploring the therapeutic relationship, interventions used and provide a place to be curious about your work and the client's story.

• Explore the impact of counselling work on you personally.

• Managing your caseload, including complying with data protection, addressing ethical issues and professional development.

• Explore ways of developing knowledge through identifying relevant CPD, books and literature or work experiences. We can also focus on use of a professional journal and developing your professional portfolio.

I offer monthly, twice monthly or flexible supervision arrangements.

I am aware that some colleges require trainee counsellors to have more than monthly supervision and am happy to work in this way.

At times counsellors are aware that they require extra supervision if they are facing challenging issues within practice or in their response to their work. I am very happy to discuss your supervision requirements.

Continual professional development:

I am committed to ongoing CPD. This has included further training in group supervision, online supervision and creativity in supervision.
