Supervision for Psychotherapists and Counsellors

Supervision

"Be a rock to others in need, be a rock of support to those who are facing critical issues, be a rock full of caring, but be a rock who recognises that you also will experience times when you need to seek your own rock." Byron Pulsifer

Expert, Experienced, Ethical

As an integrative and relational therapist, my supervisory style is based on these same principles. An individualised, considered and caring approach underpinning solid supervisory theory.  Whether you are in training or an experienced therapist, my aim is to support you to bring concerns and dilemmas,  as well and moments of joy and breakthroughs. My intention is also is to grow your internal supervisor to lean upon outside of our sessions.

I have extensive experience of working with therapists in differing stages of their career; through qualification, starting and building private practice or applying for BACP accreditation. From my time as an NHS Counselling Service Lead, I supervised varied professionals aside from counsellors such as healthcare clinicians, service leads and managers.

Who I work well with

My style of supervision is likely to resonate with therapists who value curiosity, reflection, and authenticity over rigid models or set agendas.  While I provide structure where it's needed, I work relationally, allowing space for what feels most important to emerge and trusting that meaningful insight often comes from slowing down, staying curious and thinking together. 

I enjoy working at depth, exploring both the conscious and unconscious processes that may be shaping the therapeutic relationship and the work with your clients. Alongside clinical and theoretical reflection, I like to create a 'play space' using creativity where it feels useful, whether that's imagery, metaphors, imaginative questioning, or other experiential ways of exploring what may be difficult to put into words. 

If you're an integrative or relational therapist who values depth, and would like a reflective, collaborative supervision space rather then one focused solely on techniques, we are likely to work well together.  I particularly enjoy supporting therapists working with anxiety, overwhelm, ADHD, trauma, attachment wounds and complex presentations, while holding the wider context of each client's unique experience.

Creative, Curious, Containing

I work purposefully with you to build a trusting relationship that challenges, nurtures and supports, alongside developing your confidence, knowledge and abilities in providing effective and ethical counselling to clients. 

I respect your level of experience and offer you space to reflect on dynamics in the therapeutic space.  We will explore together any issues that you may wish to bring, be that around client work, personal development or work-related issues.  In our supervision space, mistakes and slip ups are welcomed.  They are opportunities for learning and growth and gaining a deeper insight into parts outside your awareness. 

I offer group supervision to trainee and qualified therapists so please do enquire via the contact form below. Group supervision has many benefits, to reducing monthly cost to learning from your peers and gaining extra knowledge, insight and alternative perspectives.  

For qualified therapists, I can also support you with the BACP accreditation process.
